...but all the same, a genus known to shed its leaves among the earliest of all in the fall. One can easily tell what ash they're looking at if the bud scale scars are present, the green ash having a "top" line of more or less straightness, while the white ash has a big smiley face curve. There are other ID'ing techniques, but that's a good one. +oM

Thanks Laurie. I have had her positioned in a better lighted position since this picture was taken, but no signs of blooming yet. I noted you said you thought yours wasn’t blooming because of too much light? Is that typical? Am I correct to understand that they bloom quite easily and generally late summer or fall, or can they bloom at any time? I wonder because I have a beautiful Gryphon Begonia which I understand is related to the cane types, and it blooms when the daylength is quite short. Mine bloomed for me in February of this year ( indoors of course) after being outdoors until close to my first frost( late September here).1st pic blooming in February. 2nd pic as it appears outside recently. Just thought I’d share that, hope you don’t mind.

Yes, Old Forester got it right. these little birds are so cute to watch. I have a House Wren tending a nest made in the Macho Fern pot. Dril;led a hole in the plant base soil and laid 4 eggs. Little heads are poking around in there now and momma wren is busy all day. I wanna know what's the black thing they bring back for the babies? A worm? A fly?
