Re: [SG] Daphne Carol Macke/ Amelanchier

Hi Bobbi,
        I can not find the names of the two shrub forms of Shadblow I have had in
my garden for some years now.... so just an encouragement to keep looking.
They are out there. One of the two I have reaches about 2 feet in height
and  spreads by underground roots to form a small open clump. The other
reaches about 6 to 7 feet in height and performs the same. Both are lovely
in a quiet way. One seldom gets to see the mini blue apples on them as they
are a favorite of the birds. Both bloom with the full size A. Regent at the
back of the garden... just before the Dogwoods come into bloom.
