Katye, Thanks for the advice on pruning the daphne...I have never done it before, so was unaware that they are susceptible to the crud! Will do it this weekend and spray when I spray my roses with fungicide. Hope you have good luck with yours..they are such nice plants. I needed to give you a HUGE thank you too. (at least I think it was you....) Someone, and I am fairly certain it was you, recommended using hog wire to confine perennials that got unruly.
DH finally picked me up a roll, and I made my maiden attempts with it yesterday, and I am already in love with it! What a wonderful way to confine a plant and have it still have a decent form (my previous method was to noose it time after time after time to the point where it looked like a very heavy lady wearing a girdle and a wonderbra--not a pretty sight to say the least!).

Kathy, Isn't it funny how Mother Nature keeps us on our toes! At least it was something that you like in the garden surprising you by coming back rather than something that you had intentionally thought you had gotten rid of!

Ginger, absolutely love the Yak!!!

Bea, Pretty pretty pretty! I love looking at your pics as they tell me where my world will be in another few weeks! Such beautiful color!

Judi, That is a wonderful combo! What is the white flower? Such a delicate effect next to the hosta...stunning!

My walk was late tonight, so not good light for a lot of pictures, but one of my very favorite azaleas is showing it's stuff. This is "Elsie Lee"
