It is developing. I'm a kind of "wait and see what happens" gardener. Most of the structures and such originated from what plants, found materials, and helpers were available at the time. Or from experiments with plants I like, but are not sure will do well here. Hydrangeas, for one. They require much more water than I am willing to give the majority of plants. But every once in awhile, I'll try one. This year, the photo of Wedding Gown was so beautiful, I spent the $35 to get it. Couple of weeks later, spent $7 almost as an aside for a sale variegated Hydrangea from different seller. The expensive one went in the ground, in almost full shade, rich soil, right next to two Hellebores and a June hosta. The inexpensive one went into a container, two to three hours full morning sun, then shade rest of day. Both bloomed well-I do like lacecaps!-and I had hopes for being able to keep them alive THIS time. Look at the Wedding Gown. It is only mid-July. It ain't gonna make it through these extra hot temps, even with daily watering.
