Hi Craig and all,
I took a few days of vacation and email is at work. I had 212 messages
waiting for me on my return. Obviously, most were deleted after a quick
scan! I mean, they actually expect me to work when I show up here. Can you
imagine the nerve?
Here in Oregon we are about a week away from peak roses. It's such a
pleasure to look out the windows and see everything so lush and growing
well.
Clematis are nearing peak too and my favorite this year is Hako Ookan -- a
dark purple with yellow anthers. I have it in part shade so it will hold
it's color and it truly is stunning.
I was very happy to hear the discussion on propagating hydrangea. I have an
old, old one (probably original to my 1911 home) that is a gorgeous
Cambridge blue (lovely against the yellow house), but it died out in the
center a lot this year and is more "U" shaped now. I would be so sad to
lose this beautiful old plant, I will try propagating it by layering as
suggested.

For mine is a little old fashioned garden where the flowers come
together to praise the Lord and teach all who look upon them to do
likewise.

I AM in shape. ROUND is a shape!
