Thanks Robin...im blushing now! LOL

very pretty

My one and only shade garden

Here come the Irises

This is the JM still in it's pot that hubby tripped over and broke last year...
Guess this top growth is the Tamuke yama

Here's the bottom growth, anyway to find out what it is????

get rid of the bottom growth - it is only from the root stock.

ok here are a bunch of conifers looking for homes:)

some mini's in containers

another

the third

awwww look at the cute minis!!!!!


So do I have to keep pruning off the bottom growth? and will it grow normally even though it was broken?

Nice array of confiers Bill, busy?

not sure of yours Jen.. but my Harry is 5 years old... and I have to cut off the root stock suckers off every year.. sometimes twice
the cheap little twig size ones I bought are so much better because they were rooted and not grafted

Bill I don't know your taste .. but when I put light colored gravel under my minis they really popped out.. but I love all your containers

Oh no! I love those conifers and minis, Bill. You might have caused a new addiction.

this one is one of my favs.. and survived outside since 2009

Love that cypress!
Pretty ge, tulips are about to pop!

bad part is... it takes a lot of shade... so I put it in the front of the house where it only gets evening sun... it burned in every other spot I tried

Is this a sand Cherry?

I don't know...does a sand cherry have serrated leaves? Planted one in the school garden many years ago, & I can't remember....

I think my stems are dark too... looking on my camera now.. yes they are dark

it is a new to me... just planted it last year

beauty Allison. Soo airie

weeds?.. doesn't look familiar to me

Tree seedlings.....ash?

aaaaahhhhh maybe.. the leaves were so shiny .. I didn't want to touch them without gloves just in case

thanks all - i made a new bed today - will finish it up tomorrow - grabbed some of the moss and added it to the conifer planters - well only one actually
