Smitty...thanks for the info. I'll have to keep my fingers crossed here for mine to make it to it's second year. It was planted quite late last fall. We are typically 3b/4a so it has a chance, but this winter has been more like zone 2...BRRR.

I VOW to be more communicative, but meanwhile just rushing to catch up, here are three B sides:

Paper birch (native of course)



Begonia




Three phases of bottlebrush, from Southern California

Forgot to post the name of my first pic; it's Bougainvillia; as I said, not as full as it gets, though! Here it is, inside, last March.

Oh Lulu


Beautiful
