Re: More Hanabusaya

Hello Marion,
    Thanks for the additional information .... any common mane attached to this
one as yet? No current HWood catalog here.. mine is a couple years old now. I may
end up having to move mine. I was not aware of the height. My impression was of a
much shorter plant. I'll let it do its thing this coming year and see what
happens. If it ends up crowding out its neighbors, it will get moved with a good
size rootball to hold down disturbance two years in a row.
    Beginning to snow lightly here this morning... time to get the camera out and
take a couple rolls of slides... love snow on monochrome gray days. If I were
still dabbling in art I would get out the dove-gray paper, india and sepia and
chinese white inks.......
