Have you ever heard of Rose Glory Bower? Also called Mexican Hydrangea. We saw those when we were in Tennessee, too, and THAT was a beautiful shrub! Oh, if only that could be made into a hardy variety, I would surely have it in my yard!!
Sometimes I think if I could have one of every plant, shrub, flower, or tree, I would be so happy. A girl can dream, can’t she? Maybe in Heaven. Probably wouldn’t matter one bit by then.
Having worked at the Garden Center all those years, my other farm ended up with lots of 'orphans' that were heading for the dump when I thought, "I could probably save that!"
My favorite find was a Quaking Aspen Tree. They are so pretty in the sunshine and the slightest breeze moves their leaves around so they're always interesting to look at. Gorgeous in the fall.
