Having had Flowering Quince when I lived in Port Orchard I have a question. How did you keep it from creeping into places you didn't want it and how did you weed underneath it without getting punctured? Thank you for the new plant profile.

It is on the outer edge of the entry garden, and I told it to do all its creeping towards ---> the woods. I get punctured every time!

I have flowering quince. I broke off a long twig from one my daughter had at her old house, stuck it in the ground, and it took off. Love it. It's an easy plant around here. I never do anything to it. It flowers rain or drought.

There are several kinds plant twigs that they use in arrangements. I think that Corkscrew willow is used the most because it is faster growing and cheaper, but the slow growing Harry Lauder branches are the most desired and more expensive because they are 'kinkier' and cooler!

After the foliage drops, I'll try to remember to get some close up stick pix...
The middle (foliage) pix on the Lauder page was taken yesterday...

Coral bells look lush.
MINE APPEAR MORE TINY LEAF.
I like the red bloom.

So cool to try new stuff.

teach I have neglected to list the new Plant Profiles I have been writing over the last few weeks, but that doesn't mean that I have been goofing off...
The new pages are all being added to the Plant of the Day lists, as I have been creating them.
If you are interested, you can check them out starting at the P.O.D. archive. docs

Since my Blue Lungwort was the first plant to bloom at Cedar Hill, I decided that I needed to put together a page about
How to grow and care for Pulmonaria plants which also contains information about growing Spotted Lungworts.

That is lovely. I have tried so many times. I just cannot keep my atmosphere evenly moist enough for them.

Ok so Bill, tell me--if I am just sitting here wanting to look up your plant profiles. other than typing in their names in the google search is there a way I am not aware of to look them up---
(other than looking up your wonderful links in various threads, I mean)
so in essence:
I am wondering if there is something available that I am not aware of to easily go to the plant profiles --so I can say, just go and read so I can learn things
