Becca Lynn is the first plant in the allee. A day after the picture was made, she was unrooted by a storm.

That is just beautiful, Monika! How tall is that lamppost, just so I can guage size here?
Thank you GW! The lamppost is 2,30m tall.
Hmmm, 2.3 meters equals about 7.5 feet. Okay, that helps. I had to go Google and look that up. http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=mozclient&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&q=convert+2.3+meters+to+feet
The US educational system tried switching us all to the metric system when I was a child in gradeschool, but it never caught on. We went back to what was familiar. Is that why I'm so bad at math? Early math trauma, LOL. Metric seems like it would be so much easier.
She looks great!! I hope she recovers from the storm,I learned my lesson last year,now I walk around snapping lots of pictures,you never know when Mother Nature is going to bite you right in the garden,
Herbstein:
Hope she is still Becca Lynn.
Love your alee and the hostas underneath. Looks like she was providing them with some shade.

what a gorgeous setting for Becca Lynn..
Monika I always enjoy your alley pics! Becca Lynn sure is pretty and I'm so sorry about your storm. You have the magic touch.....I bet she'll be beautiful again soon.
Becca Lynn must be weak because she is the only one that was broken off at the soil line here during the storm. I had others that had damage, but she is gone. She sure is a pretty one though. I did get to see three blooms before she broke.
Wow, I wish I was there walking through your gardens. Everything is so pretty.. I hope she recovers for you very quickly!
Wow! I also hope she recovers for you! What a spot to have her! Right where she belongs.
It was good, that the storm unrooted her. The whole shrub was laying on the hostas and has lost a few flowers but no branches. We've set her up straight again and she looks now like nothing had happened to her.
I was going to ask you if you had to cut her back to let the roots catch back up. She is beautiful. Do you pick off all the dead flowers and yellow leaves?
Wow, Monika. I love your alley. It's beautiful. So sorry about Becca Lynn.
How wonderfull Monika. That must be a heavenly experience if you take stroll in the evening in your alley. Do you leave them outside during winters because they've grown so tall ??
Danke schon !
hi Monika becky lynn is beautiful i am glad the storm didn,t do too much damage we alsoi have had a few large thunderstorms this summer Bob
What a beautiful picture. You have created a real paradise around you!! Love Becca Lynn.
The fragrance is heavenlym saya. I cannot leave the brugs outside during the winter. I have to dig them out every fall. They overwinter in a frost free Greenhouse. My growing season is very short, not longer than appr. 3 1/2 months.
...all I can say is, "WOW!!!!!!"......I WANT YOUR ALLEE!!!! ....how beautiful in deed...
Monika -- she and all your brugs are just lovely! I'm happy to hear that she sustained no serious damage in her uprooting! Gretchen
