I know it's been so hot and dry. I actually like them like this, rather than huge and flabby. All the proportions look great, everything happy and healthy. I wonder what your family thinks of all the places you take them to!

It was so fun to have you all here, I just wish you could have stopped back by on your way home. Oh well, I look forward to your return whenever that is.<br /><br />Oh and those vibrant hydrangeas? They're not mine, but the neighbors. Since they're completely ignored by them I do try to water them now and then. The heat and drought as just been too much though and they are literally drying on the stem. It's interesting to watch but also sad.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-70160312760072499052015-07-17T06:30:20.517-07:002015-07-17T06:30:20.517-07:00So nice -- great memories!

Of all of the beauties that Loree grows, I lust after Podophyllum pleianthum and Syneilesis aconitifolia the most. I calm myself by imagining that deer would devour both of them.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393082652312828458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-45655013386507385452015-07-17T00:45:46.114-07:002015-07-17T00:45:46.114-07:00So lucky to be able to pop round again Gerhard!
