Cold and cloudy here today, due for another rain which in this very dry year is a GOOD thing.

Clare, lovely blooms! WOW factor for sure. I do get a certain number of buds that abort each year. I think it's a natural process of survival of the fittest.

Poor orphans in a storm or rather just too many things to do as we try to get the garden going from bare ground. These pots are still sitting right where I dropped them off the truck. Despite my being a bad Epi Mom this year they are still blooming. Ugly ducklings performing like swans!

Once the blooms are finished, I'll be totally revamping all the pots, breaking them up into more managable groups in smaller pots. My son-in-law brought me 5 wonderful full French oak wine barrels that I think I'll be using as a staging area for the Epis. We'll see how that works out, but first there are beds to prepare, the greenhouse to assemble.....too many projects and only so many hours in a day. :-)
