The Grapes of Wrath

Joey and Lorelei, you are right! Who'd a thunk sansiverrias could be appreciated for their delicious fragrance? Not me anyway. Annie and Joanna, no -- you do not get to be jealous of the rain! ... LOL Because, on average Austin gets about three inches more a year than San Antonio (you lucky people :-) and not only that it's comes more regularly. So enjoy it! ... :-) Lorelei, after I learned what a wafer ash looks like I saw one growing less than half a mile from my house! I looked for seedlings, but couldn't find any. I did collect some seeds to share. Pam, thanks for enjoying my yard with me, and that goes for all of you. Much appreciation.
