What do you miss most in the winter?

Okay - time to turn up the heat!

Hotter than Paris, for sure!

How quickly these threads go in the gutter! LOL
Polly, I really love your foxgloves and iris's. Are those Hydrangeas yellow? They are lovely!

Victor, that Scabiosa is stunning!

Yank, what did you end up making with that lovely specimen?

I miss these guys too.

Yes, I forgot to comment, Polly. Very nice! Is that Hydrangea 'Limelight'?

Where is Al with his beautiful dahlias, flax, and coneflowers?

I miss hummers.

Thanks Celeste. Here's another.

Wow - great shot, Deb!

Thanks Victor.
And butterflies.

Yes! Hummers! Nice job Deb!! I do miss them too.
Victor, what's thats one's name? I really like the color.

They were all from a mix (plants, not seeds) from Graceful Gardens.

And fawns. I barely saw this one in the brush.

Now you ruined it, Deb!

More butterflies.

What did I ruin?

My reflective mood by posting the photo of the beast.

Awe, he's cute....just curious and maybe a little hungry.
Beautiful BB shots Deb!

It's too cute to be a beast. It was in the park and not my garden though. I'm so sorry.

Yes, I was thinking BB shots...

Thanks Celeste!

By the way, they do like viburnums!

Victor, I used to like you!

That's twice today, Deb!

I'll make it up to you and look for road kill to get a pic of!

They love apples tree's too, so if you have enough of them they shouldn't bother anything else.

I was dreaming about apple trees today, and then blueberries, then I read Victor's article.

Give me a few of your acres, Celeste, and I'm sure I could come to some understanding with them!

Now those rabbit above are missing, and I do miss them but....
I will finally get to see some of my lilies bloom and DL's that they ate the buds off last year.

Blueberries don't take much room. Apples can be work - even the 'resistant' ones.

I've been wondering what to give up to put in a blueberry or 2. Does anyone have the self polinating ones?

You should not have to give up anything - they only get a few feet high. The low bush - even smaller.

Very nice autum colors, too.

Great colors!

Yes Victor, I agree about the blueberries and they are very rewarding! I also meant to comment on your article, it was great and very informative. I even read it to DH very loudly..(he's 2 rooms from the PC). We have been looking for landscaping shrubs and tree's to put down back. I think I can find room for a "few" of these. Hee hee.
Also wanted to know if your a fan of Michael Jordan? LOL

What I was looking at today said 4x4 feet, and I really don't have room for that without moving something. I really have a small back yard, and so far DH doesn't like expanding to the front.

We have one blueberry bush and it's about 12 years old and nowhere near 4 x 4. From all I've read they just don't want anything growing around their root zone - no problem.

I have about 10 in all and they vary in size and shape, some are only 2ft. wide and 2ft tall.

How about a nice dark daylily that holds it's color in the sun.

Or one so bright it rivals the sun?

Seattle Slew would match them!
