Hi..WOW I looked at your pictures of the brugs and they are beautiful!!! I don't have anything to trade with at this time. Unless you would like some cuttings from a small tree that my mother-in-law calls a Golden Showers..I think it might be Christmas Senna or would you like some white Confederate Rose cuttings? I would like to have some of your frosty pink and the others. I would be more than happy to pay for postage for them. Please let me know. Thank you. Deb

Thanks for writing about that Jacaranda - I have the perfect spot for that (if my strawberry treelet dies, which it looks like it might). I also have a Ray Hartman (6 months old) that I'm growing as a tree. Going well so far. Btw local people around my area (west side LA) are saying that ceanothus don't really do well in full FULL sun. They are having better luck with a little shade. Cannot vouch either way for that though.

Laura, Oops! Those perennials should have stayed underground a while longer. Mine that were close to the house are OK, but the ones further away from the house were bitten back a little by the freeze too. Maybe we'll have the last freeze behind us before we all gather for the potluck dinner and swap! Randy, I hate losing the fruit again, but am getting used to it. I had three good years in a row with fruit in the early 2000s, but am paying for it now. The law of averages always wins out in the long-term, doesn't it. Diane, Send your excess rain here. LOL Y'all watch out early Mon. a.m. and early Tues. a.m. because another freeze is forecast. In fact, I'm gonna start a thread on that in the hopes that it will slow down anyone who thinks this weekend is going to be a good time to plant warm-season crops. Dawn

Interesting, what we call bluestem gets as tall as me, or taller in some cases. I will do some research. I do know that we do have the smaller bluestem that has recently taken over around here. The tassels are almost maroon and looks like waves of maroon when the wind blows on the grass. Kt
