laura...amen to that. I had a little talk with him today about my rhododendrons. explained that they don't bloom because his crew always comes and trims them too early in the spring and cuts off all the buds (I get some blooms, but only inside). he said 'I would never do that!..where are the rhododendrons?'. Just doesn't get it. I really like these guys, but dh says I have to cover the plants I want them to stay away from. I wish I could just do it all myself, but it's just too big a job for me.

anyway, here's what's blooming today. nothing exciting, but there's still some good color. I have some other asters that are just coming into bud. some of the heather still looks pretty good.
