Isn't it amazing what wonderful things pop up after a good soaking rain? I found amaryllis leaves popping up in the compost after I had given up on some old, small bulbs.

Alice, I forgot to answer your question about attaching broms to the oak branches. Those ones on the tree at Selby were all big clumps so could not see any sort of attachment. I have a couple in one of my oak trees that the previous owner put there, and I'm afraid to look at how they're attached, as I found big nails in another oak, where there was obvious bark damage.

If I give that a try, I think I'll use hemp twine or something like that. Won't slip, it's porous and will eventually rot away. I do have a huge horizontal branch that's just begging for some pretty broms.
