A lot of my trees and shrubs have never bloomed better.<br /><br />Prairie Chicken - I wish it smelled as good as it looks, it doesn't have much of a scent.<br /><br />Prospero - I'm not sure if they're magic, I think a lot of it was that it gets more sun now. <br /><br />keewee - I bet you can find space for at least one :)<br /><br />Susie - We are lucky that they grow so well here, they are in bloom all over the place now.<br /><br />Flower Lady - This one is more like a tree. I have another big one that looks like a giant shrub, but I love how this one grows with all of its twisted branches.<br /><br />MIldred - It definitely has been worth the effort. I love watching the bees on it, it was just covered today.Catherine@AGardenerinProgresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001060769253273283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-3709959090747605652009-05-31T18:03:54.145-07:002009-05-31T18:03:54.145-07:00That's so pretty.
