Corylus avellana is the botanical name for Harry lauder's Walking Stick and it was named for a vaudevillian comic who used a branch of it as a cane in his act, (circa 20's I think and also UK I think). Tomorrow I will show take a pic and upload of the branch - I LOVE it! But there's a pic in DG plant files.

Thank you for the kind words about my flowers and I did cut all (both) of the roses I have left that the beetles didn't eat yet:( I figured I was supposed to be introducing my garden so I cut some of nearly everything...

The pink flower is a David Austin rose named 'Heritage' (shown here again) - it performs wonderfully. I forget the cascading greenery but I have the tag somewhere - first time I used it and it seemed to go with the Hydrangea.

Does anyone dry Hydrangeas? Every time I try they shrivel up, must be doing something wrong. I could also use some help balancing my arrangements (like many I've seen posted) so please feel free to critique, I can only learn more. The flowers make everything look good even me - but that's mother nature and I want to learn to make display's that could be exhibited - even though I won't.

What do you mean about other threads for the pics, Terri?
