No Golden Chain tree here, but I've always got flowers....

Here's the "Endless Summer" hydrangea, a little smaller this year after getting frozen in June. That's a pack of catnip plants on the table.

Hawk in the tree, from last winter.

Susan, you're buying catnip? I'm pulling it up as a weed out of my garden. I let one get close to 3 feet tall and am now drying it for the cats this Winter.
