good video I love touring historic homes, have meant to visit Monticello for a while. Do they sell a lot of plants grown there?

So the sales pitch is that all of the plants grown there are direct lines from the original varieties that were grown by Wormley Hughes and Thomas Jefferson. Researchers 'rediscovered' seed and plants that Jefferson had given to others. In the case of the perennials from what I gather they are direct lines of the original plants.

I went and picked up my plants, so I have no idea what their shipped plants will look like. When it arrives please post a picture of it's condition if you would.

Thanks,
