I'm looking forward to going back to the conservatory to see the outdoor garden and to see the other seasonal exhibits in the show house.<BR/><BR/>Meems, it's fun to share visits to our favorite local garden haunts. It might not be this season, but I definitely want to add some azaleas and hydrangeas. We have some little yews DH bought as Christmas decorations and planted in the garden a few years ago. They're not doing so great, and he wants to take them out. They'd be good spots for blooming shrubs. And I'd like to redo our front foundation planting (overgrown yews and burning bushes.) The shadier side under the old Bradford Pear would also be a great spot for a hydrangea and an azalea. <BR/><BR/>Rose, I've had good luck with them in the past in part sun, and I've got spots in mind already - just have to get rid of the ugly stuff first.<BR/><BR/>Brenda, aren't they fascinating plants? <BR/><BR/>Marie, I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures!garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7447389184218295999.post-24339649064623495522008-05-13T15:47:00.000-05:002008-05-13T15:47:00.000-05:00Very interesting :) Beautiful photos!Very interesting :) <BR/>Beautiful photos!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07390455875023239060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7447389184218295999.post-26228343432650071212008-05-13T15:42:00.000-05:002008-05-13T15:42:00.000-05:00I love cactus and sedums myself.

They seem to be a little finicky about where they're planted.<BR/>Catching up with your posts--congratulations on your growing business! That's a good sign when you have to cut back on some hours to keep up with your own clientele.<BR/>Very interesting info on the hostas. Good luck on finding out the names, though; I think there are hundreds of varieties out there, many of which look the same to me!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7447389184218295999.post-10974529486323099842008-05-13T12:56:00.000-05:002008-05-13T12:56:00.000-05:00Linda: I, too, love to post lots of pictures of pl...Linda: I, too, love to post lots of pictures of places I visit (have you noticed?hee-hee) and I just go ahead and do it without shame. Afterall, it is YOUR blog and that's why we have them right? I'm not a big fan of cacti but your photos are great and it does seem like a wonderful conversatory. <BR/><BR/>I am however a BIG fan of hydrangea and azalea... can't wait to see if you make some choices of them to plant in your garden. <BR/>Meems @Hoe&ShovelMeemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16341998120938921741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7447389184218295999.post-70174922399517034682008-05-13T11:42:00.000-05:002008-05-13T11:42:00.000-05:00I love your pictures.
