I did plant one this spring that started flowering early because it had been in a container, and deadheading it produced a nice second flush, happening now. I wish they weren't quite so delicate (they're marginal here in my part of Nova Scotia. I treat them as annuals, but I so love them!) <br />I'm sorry your daughter is going through a tough time. There IS light at the end of the tunnel; I deal with depression all the time. As in, it's chronic with me but manageable with some help. I will hold her in my thoughts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107236871193698777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-70791016186026431202010-09-09T16:38:03.049-05:002010-09-09T16:38:03.049-05:00Love your blog!

Mine are easy to do because they are planted right next to the deck and I can reach the top easily.Diana LaMarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324428666401187803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-387029499516351302010-09-09T12:57:43.663-05:002010-09-09T12:57:43.663-05:00Hi Sue,

Thanks for stopping by and saying hell...Hello Sue,<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and saying hello. It really touched my heart that people were actually praying for us. <br /> <br />I truly hope that your daughter is on the path to recovery soon. It is difficult and since I have been there myself, I totally relate. So many times people who are not compassionate say horrible things to depressed people...not intending to be mean but it happens. " snap out of it" a common theme. It hurts a lot. <br />I will keep her in my prayers.<br /><br />On another note, I am debating about spending the money for storage. Is it twenty dollars a year? Or twenty dollars for a certain amount of storage. Just wondering.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />RoseyChloe mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265196480664185330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-23497444014531306592010-09-09T06:46:36.677-05:002010-09-09T06:46:36.677-05:00I've tried to grow butterfly bushes down here,...I've tried to grow butterfly bushes down here, but they don't like my heat and humidity, so I'm trying to grown other flowering shrubs instead.
