hi all.........
yes rebbecca it is blair. does he deliver to you? i do the sales for bandon to yahacts dont go down that way. he does those accts and the landscapers. cool :)

gourd... leptos are great. their a nice airy sort of plant not realy dense foliage. i sent a pic of my ruby glow, its not blooming yet but will later. dark maroon/red blooms with black eye. cool. they do have a lepto that is called tea tree(copper glow) can be a small tree/shrub with much bigger leaves. seems to be pretty tough and wasnt affected by the winter we had so far. has come out of it really well. flower size on most leptos are 1/2" to 1" but the plant just gets covered with them.

another plant you guys might want to consider is the australian mint bush. youwant smell??? omgoodness. its not edible but the fragrance is wonderful just rub on it and its intoxicating. and get tiny little purple flowers on it. and it VERY hardy which is a plus. you can trim the snot out of it and abuse it and it wont die. get about 6-8 ft and kinda egg shaped. have one in my yard and its great.

yeah suns out!!!!! time to take a walk and pull some weeds.
happy planting all.

i will bestarting a pictoral diary of my rhodies as they come into bloom too... so check back ocassionally. i will be adding some pics this am.
