I wasn't planning on putting in that bed until next year, but I found all the shrubs I had planned on putting in there 90% off and the Zunis (which we just happened to want too for the same bed) were marked down from 40 to 7 dollars, I couldn't let that bargain pass me by.Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03840964031964028578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675228133704777909.post-50589883101800862382008-08-18T09:41:00.000-05:002008-08-18T09:41:00.000-05:00Hello Randy and Jamie, Is the 'Zuni' the crepe myr...Hello Randy and Jamie, <BR/><BR/>Is the 'Zuni' the crepe myrtle that's in the new center bed? (That project looks spectacular already, BTW!)<BR/><BR/>Everything in my garden is stunted and barely surviving - I can't believe the size of the vitex blooms or the lushness of the Joe Pye...which seldom looked like that in Illinois. You sure are making Alabama look like Eden! <BR/><BR/>Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675228133704777909.post-43390010718453375272008-08-18T06:32:00.000-05:002008-08-18T06:32:00.000-05:00Triple W, I'm glad you enjoyed the crepe myrtle bl...Triple W, <BR/>I'm glad you enjoyed the crepe myrtle blooms. I wish Tonto was blooming so I could have gotten all of them posted. :-)<BR/><BR/>Gail, <BR/>Honestly, when I planted the Natchez I had no idea how large they would get. But, they are in the ground now and they do have enough space to grow where they are, I hope they will be okay.<BR/><BR/>Phillip, <BR/>With that new irrigation system you are putting in, that shouldn't be a problem in the future.<BR/><BR/>Jan,<BR/>I think you would really like the Joe-Pye. The cultivar I have is 'Little Joe'. Give it a try. :-)<BR/><BR/>Cosmos, I saw his tattered wings and I couldn't resist posting the picture. So far, he's the only one that has posed for me. :-)Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03840964031964028578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675228133704777909.post-7727712717577314022008-08-16T15:58:00.000-05:002008-08-16T15:58:00.000-05:00Hi, Randy--I love the pciture of the butterfly on ...Hi, Randy--I love the pciture of the butterfly on the vitex--what a shot. My Joe Pye isn't quite blooming--it's in part shade, which may delay it, but I think generally we might be a couple of weeks behind you. I love to see what's growing in your Eden--it's so beautiful.Cosmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14260783700118031314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675228133704777909.post-42940565416892249362008-08-16T13:21:00.000-05:002008-08-16T13:21:00.000-05:00My blackberry lilies have not started blooming yet...My blackberry lilies have not started blooming yet, so you are ahead of me on that.
