Dimmer, those are great pix!

Dimmer, I just went shopping with a friend and she bought the same as your new tree, I believe it was labeled "Japanese Willow" and you can bet your butt I wanted one too but have no place to put it!! It is a gorgeous tree, hope it does well for you and you enjoy it for many years.

I just picked all my peonies, have a gorgoeous vase full of big fluffy lush pale pink flowers on my DR table...so pretty. I have tree peonies too but they didn't put on much of a show this year here.

Dimmer, so happy to hear from you and I love you for sharing your new home and tree.
Your streps look good! Just a little trimming and grooming and they look fantastic...............you must be a good plant mommy.

Love the iris and the peonies.................

Welcome back Kim!! Great pictures.Your tree is definitley a dappled Japanese willow.

Hey girl,glad to see you around the garden.Love your tree and plants!

Welcome back Dimmer! Great to see you posting again. I hope your job is going well. The work you do is difficult and dangerous. I think they should give you all hazardous pay for having to be out there on the roads with all the crazy drivers you have to deal with.

That is a beautiful dappled willow tree your Dad gave you! I had to go look it up in PF: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/56310/. It says it grows in my zone so I might have to check some nurseries to see if they carry it. I love the growth habit and that variegated foliage!
