I'd love some meyer lemon cuttings if anybody can help, plumbago(leadwort)and almost anything else (especially edibles) i dont have bunches of already! Thanks and goodnight!

Beautiful photos Mike. I love the call of the loon. They're wonderful creatures.

Amelanchier is a most welcome sight in the spring each year here after 5 months of winter, and A. arborea is one of six species that grow in my county according to BONAP. I know that we have at least two species in the woods, and I am fairly certain the one of them is common serviceberry. Thanks for motivating me to look up this genus for my area.

My Chianti was about 6 ft high and about 8 ft wide. And constance about the same. And i had them up on an embankment and they kind of hung down over. Which worked well as the roses tend to "nod" on the ends of the canes. So you could look up into them. They could have done with a bit of support as they tended to have very long canes. I've just bought the wedgewood rose, in my new house, and have that similarly up on an embankment but have given it some support this time. That one repeats but is yet to flower so I don't know if I will like it as much yet. I loved constance to bits. What zone am I? I don't know the equivalents, sorry. It rarely gets colder than about 14 degree F in winter and we hardly ever get snow. And in summer it's around 86 F, but we have a few days that can top 100.
