Thank you missingtheobvious! I found a nursery in my state, hoping to have better luck finding what I'm looking for and did find something similar under the conifers! Both of these are what I have seen http://www.soonerplantfarm.com/plant/cedar-blue-atlas/ http://www.soonerplantfarm.com/plant/cypress-arizona-blue-ice/ So this leads me to my next question... I am not certain this is what I'm looking for (though it does look very similar to what I have seen) these have mature sizes of 30 ft or 40-60 ft. I have seen these planted very close to homes which makes me wonder if it is what I am looking for. Also tonight I saw one at McDonalds less than 2ft from the drive thru menu!! If this tree can get up to 30ft why would someone plant it so close to their home??

Or another Robinia. Black locust is a tree growing over 60' tall, that may produce runners that sprout some distance away. A friend thinks some produced by a neighbor's tree grew across his entire city-sized lot and came up on the property of the neighbor on the other side.

What a sweet picture, Shirley. Everything for this swap has now been received. Now I can pass along my "oops moment" about the prizes. A few weeks ago I went to a craft store and saw some Peanuts fabric - it had copies of the comic strips on it. Perfect to make little gifts for the prizes I thought. Guess who couldn't find it a few weeks later? It's a bit of a joke around here about how I put things away and can't find them. Anyway, I thought the gnome fabric turned out really cute and one day I'll find that Peanuts fabric. I guess it's good it didn't have a seasonal print. I hope everyone enjoys Halloween this year. We don't get any trick or treaters out here, but I have my Halloween-Fall decorations out in several rooms so it looks festive for us here at home. Jeanne
