Carol, those shots are great! JC and I had a wonderful time visiting with you and seeing your gardens. I especially appreciated the guided tour and your being able to tell me what all the plants were. Yes, the apple blossoms were glorious and smelled so sweet. Carol, your secret garden is so beautiful and peaceful-its a very special place to be and I feel honoured to have visited there.

Your daughter is a lovely person and your grandaughters are very sweet and bright girls. It was a joy meeting them all, thank you so much for letting us visit your place and meet your family.

We only got four plantsJensens, but what we got was very special. I got a Red Hot Hibiscus- it has varegated leaves and fire engine red flowers, smaller than a lot of other hibiscuses. I also got a diplademia, aka Mondevalia, and a duranta, with tiny varegated purple flowers, that are just so pretty! I also got my heart's desire, a neon pothos, which I've been wanting since I first saw one about a year ago.

Here's a branch of the Hiiscus with a bud about to open, and you can see the varegation in the leaves.

Edited to say, duh, its a Red Hot Hibiscus not a red hot clematis.
