I guess Mother's Day would be reason enough, or if a forecasted storm was going to cause a beat down.

But that arrangement is GORGEOUS! Was it for you or Mom? Sorry about losing your tree, it must be sad. Will you replace it, or fill in with flowers? You are right, our lawn is indeed lush. That's my hubby's pride and joy, but remember, we are WAY above normal for rainfall, so it's especially green this spring.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012891747188380656.post-73741097225975262482011-05-09T23:45:19.440-07:002011-05-09T23:45:19.440-07:00The arrangement is beautiful.

You asked about...Michael arrangement is beautiful.<br /><br />You asked about the rugosas... The rugosas do like it here in central NC. The soil is very acid and the summers don't bother them. I have alba, rubra, Foxi Pavement, Hansa, and Sir Thomas Lipton. We gave STL to my MIL a few years ago and I was able to root a cutting from it. (Clotilde Soupert genes must have helped with that, as I didn't think rugosas rooted well in general.)sweetbayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06248743114944736346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012891747188380656.post-47029274229820869722011-05-08T19:54:25.778-07:002011-05-08T19:54:25.778-07:00You are lucky to have your mother still.

Sorry we missed you but Michael made us feel welcome. I took a few cuttings of things that I still desperately want to propagate (Buff Beauty and Veichenblau to name 2). When are you ever going to come see my garden and carry home some of my stuff? LOL I didn't want to bother Michael (he was busy sewing) when we left. Thanks to you both for being such nice garden people.serial tillerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05144034403180142017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012891747188380656.post-11791356207027556352011-05-08T18:16:47.925-07:002011-05-08T18:16:47.925-07:00SO beautiful!!
