I don't know Karma, I don't know what some of my plants are doing. The hydrangea has been around a long time and it has always died back to the ground every fall and then in spring looks like a brand new bush, never any bigger than the previous year and never a bloom. We shall see next year as I have transplanted it to another spot and have been putting my coffee grounds on it to give the soil a bit more acid, that in addition to crossing fingers.

I wanted to share this photo, Terri and Sue saw it at the cabin as it is all around the pond. It is joe pyeweed and I have just learned it is great when dried so will be cutting lots the next trip to the cabin. The plants are huge about 5-6' tall and just grand heads of blooms. Hope they are still going strong in 3-4 weeks as we won't be back up for a while.
