I did the same thing last weekend for daughters Bridal shower. We had it at a historical log House. The plants from my yard that I combined with 3 dozen roses to make arrangements were Bay Leaf, Variegated Pittosporum, Magnolia, Rosemary, Ferns, Giant Liriope and English Ivy. I bought 2 bunches of baby's breath to add into the arrangements also.

Philadelphia Zoo also sis this a couple of months ago. I think I've read about zoos in several other places as well.

Unlimited amount of horse manure. It is ALREADY GATHERED UP in a large pile sitting on 3/4 inch plyboard. Drive your pickup and/or trailer up next to the pile --- then use your own grain scoop, shovel, manure fork to load it. First come / first served. Take as much as you like. Preference will be given to serious gardeners who need it on a regular ongoing basis. Call or email. NO TEXTING. Phone number is a google number to weed out the fakers, cranks and spammers. Please follow the prompts in the recorded greeting to leave a message. I will return all calls in a timely manner. 51twofive8eightthree04six. Thank you.

I have 4 Encore® 'Autumn Embers' along a rear driveway going into year 3 I think. Mine took a terrible hit in the snow/ice storm of Feb 2021. Actually had 5 and lost 1 to the freeze. Mine get water on auto-sprinkler mister every 3 days. They are in dappled shade. I fight the alkaline soil in Temple for sure. When I fertilize regularly with acid-lover fertilizer, they do better. When I get lazy or health issues get in the way of gardening, they get a little puny. I want to get my hands on some pine needles to spread around them but having no luck there to date. Here's what they look like currently: Not really getting to be big bushes, but in the narrow 2' wedge of soil by that driveway they live in, probably just as well they not get too big. Blooming in 2019. EDIT: I give up. Can't seem to upload either picture today for you. It uploads but then vanishes when I hit submit.
