I planted it a few years before TT was born. He just turned 27. I think it was the first year I was in this house. I can actually remember planting it from a gallon can. I was new to gardening in a yard. It is one of the major reasons I would not move from here over the years when my husband so wanted to. Well that and the perfect weather. LOL

I have been waiting since 10am for the guys to leave the enemy's yard (he is putting in a lawn YEA!) and come to my side to cut it way down. Oddly the foliage is like a waterfall that starts about 12 feet up so there will be no green or blooms left at all. Just some bare trunks. I am sick over it.

Here it is yesterday. It is actually even bigger than it looks. I now will lie in bed and look at empty sky instead of purple. Woe is me.
