Swapping Huckleberries
Himalayan Honeysuckle ( Vaccinium glauco album) Himalayan Honeysuckle ( Vaccinium glauco album) has been an attractive feature along our north-facing foundation since I planted it in 2016. You will have to take my word for it since I cannot locate a photo although I know one exists somewhere in the realm of the Internet or floating on a cloud somewhere. I did locate a photo of how it looked when it was first planted - It took a few years to fill out but it did so nicely to an attractive mound about 2 feet high by 3 feet wide. Last year, it started to look bad. I cut it back but it had not improved and this is how it looked a few weeks ago - I decided to rip it out and plant another huckleberry - this time Vaccinium ovatum , more commonly known as the "Evergreen Huckleberry". This is a plant that I've wanted for ages and kept putting off getting one because I could not find a good place for it. By most accounts, this is an amazing plant, a native one and excellent for
Wow, I'm so jealous! I would have loved that :D
ReplyDeleteWow! I could kick myself for not going to that! I even read about it on another blog, but never considered going. DUH!
ReplyDeleteI wish I knew about that. I LOVE fashion. Saw the lvediYSL exhibit when I was in Montreal. Works of ART!!!! 98% of the clothes are wearable today. Totally classic.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ... to me timeless in their appeal with exception to what must be beneath to get those tiny waists! ;>)
ReplyDeleteI love seeing fashions throughout the ages. Very interesting how some things change and others remain almost identical. Fun!
ReplyDeleteWow! Where is it showing? Frist, TPAC? I am going to Nashville Friday and would love to see this while i'm there. In another life, I wanted to be a designer..... How I ever ended up a banker/rose gardner, i'll never know!!!!! ha.
ReplyDeleteIt was at the Frist Center but I'm sorry to tell you that Sunday the 12th was the last day. We just barely made it!
ReplyDeleteI would have gone MAD!! Fashion is NOT my forte. I have little interest in it. Don't get me wrong. I want to dress nice...and appropriately. But walking a museum of clothing. Total boredom. Glad someone enjoys it, though. Somebody has to make these designers rediculously rich.

I think this would have been interesting but I would have enjoyed seeing the rose in the last post even more. You are a good sport.
