Cadence You'll have to wait til the plants go dormant once again which is sometime in summer. I spent a whole year as an exchange student in BC a while back.. I just love it there. (this was in the Kamploops, Kelowna, Merritt and a town by the Okanagan area) It felt like paradise. Lucky you to live there. Ianna

Juanital, they're probably the easist plant ever! Perennial, that just keeps coming back every spring. They will be done blooming by June 1st or so, but they are so gorgeous every spring. Tough, and if you want to divide, after a couple of years, you just stick a shovel in half of it and transplant it.

Sorry, but I do **NOT** agree with this comment (posted above): "Incredibly sad, especially that the 2 people responsible are really just children themselves. At 17, I knew right from wrong but I didn't fully understand life and consequences." Children don't have to "fully understand life" to know that it's wrong to commit murder. An eight year old child can understand that it's wrong to inflict pain on other people. The two "youths" that committed this heinous crime can't hide behind any excuses, IMHO. I hope they're swiftly dealt with, and subjected to the harshest penalties our justice system can inflict. My heart aches for that mother.
