You have such beautiful and unusual plants, Seq! I love the colors on your Ken Janeck Rhodi.

Here's a pic of the totally ordinary but wonderfully flowerful Azaleas and a Rhododendron in my front yard. They were already big when we bought our house in 1992 (except for the one of the left; that was a replacement). It doesn't look like it, but I do prune them at least once a year, even though it's tough to find a time when birds aren't nesting there.

In case anyone's wondering, the black stakes are holding down netting so the birds and squirrels don't mess up the grass I'm trying to grow where a silver maple used to be.
