Only 15 IF Hemo tests out genetically.... (smile) And, if she doesn't look sicilian..it will be a dead giveaway.

The cotoneaster - the plants were so big that I am surprised any made it. But you are right ..sometimes just a sprig lives in the ground with those things and if so..it will take off again. I am glad I don't have the water plants. The last snow/ice thing we had a few weeks ago.... well it froze the waterfall..dammed it up with ice..and it overflowed..and the pump kept pumping it. I think it also ruined the lavender planted alongside. So, I am going to suck it up and buy a pond vacuum...clean out all the remaining water/algae and debris..(I did net it this fall) ..scrub up the rocks and start again. Your plants would have just added to the dilemma. I gave a way a ton of bee balm and shasta.. I have to give away the agastache (sob!! Blue Fortune) the bees... just love it..it's like a living work of art that undulates with the bees..... My husband had a bad reaction last year to a bite.. I am dragging my feet...maybe I should just give him away.....Anyway, I have them in the ground waiting still. They are BEAUTIFUL about 5 feet high ..full and bloom bloom bloom. Fragrance like licorace when the rain hits the leaves. I am glad the edgeworthia worked for you... so they bloomed?? of course NOW they are covered with snow as mine are as you can see...

As you age you won't see the stretch from Jan to December... it just flys by and you get so slow at things you have to start early....you will see.. Plan now for December!! Ha!
