I think the kerrias are so rewarding and easy to grow. Have you seen the variegated single? I killed it once when we had irrigation installed in that bed. I would like to try it again. Also, can't believe you found that plant on ebay.~~DeeDee @ Red Dirt Ramblingshttp://www.reddirtramblings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012891747188380656.post-4043958021080829462010-04-16T14:22:51.600-07:002010-04-16T14:22:51.600-07:00Man, I have to get up there and see your garden!

No one seems to offer it to the big box stores. I guess I'll just have to visit an actual nursery very soon. <br /><br />In credible photos.

Absolutely gorgeous! My kerria (single flower) bloomed only briefly as I waited until spring to cut it back. I knew I was cutting off the buds, but I had let the bushes get so massive that they were taking over. I had wanted to trim them back in the fall, but was so afraid of getting covered with ticks that I hesitated! (Is that crazy? I did have lyme disease last year!). I cut them to the ground in March when there were no leaves & it was easy. They've bushed out nicely, but only a couple of buds remained. I believe they will re-bloom later in the summer. I can't believe how huge your Euphorbia are! I just planted several very small ones and just KNOW I didn't leave enough space for them to grow. I will no doubt have to move them in time. I enjoyed everything here, Phillip--go ahead, take the rest of the month off and just soak it all in;-)Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844013803699228989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012891747188380656.post-85249681593177887302010-04-16T04:19:14.850-07:002010-04-16T04:19:14.850-07:00All gorgeous shots.

I stroll through my gardens 3x in the morning before going to work, with the excuse that the dogs "need" to go out. And in the evenings I'm outside until dark. There's always a new discovery. I'm definitely getting some of those bluebells. I have tons of Spanish bluebells, but the Virginians are amazing, and as someone noted, would be beautiful next to my pulmonaria.C.
