26 July, 2006 gallery additions
We've hit the 4000 mark! As of today, the gallery now has 4,023 photos. There are lots more to add — I easily have another 1,000 waiting in the wings. Time just hasn't been kind to me.All but one of this week's photos have been taken in the past year, with most from trips to arboreta and botanic gardens. I try to visit one at least twice a year.I didn't quite meet my goal of only listing sun-loving plants this time, although there are a lot. Rather, this week's selection is basically whatever struck my fancy and/or was ready to go, thus minimizing my work. 😃 I hope you're keeping cool!Christopher Lindsey, gallery maintainerThis newsletter is also available at http://www.hort.net/gallery/date/2006-07-26/#ml
