Thank you all so much for the nice comments. I really appreciate them very much. Aimee, I didn't realize there were so few photos of Bermuda Kathleen of HMR. I will post this one since you like it. Guilty about the nail polish, Renee. It came about in a rather strange way though. My husband bought this polish to repaint one of the dye-cast cars that he sells on e-bay to collectors. It's a lot cheaper than the special paint they have for touching up model cars (and that silver shade is very aptly named "Pedal to the Metal".) It was sitting around and I thought I'd try this strange color. I like it! Ingrid

Yes, you want the Advanced Search function at Helpmefind.com. Click on "Class" and select "Hybrid Tea", then "Color" and select "peach" or "Apricot" (what some think of as "peach" others think "apricot"). One popular rose in that color is Just Joey.

I've been watching this thread because I have a similar situation. My driveway curves very slightly, (kind of an s-curve, so its a double-whammy) and people just don't pay attention and notice that curve, and they run over the grass. I've actually had people back smack into the 8x8 forsythia bush at the end of the driveway! Come on! Pay attention for goodness sake! It's frustrating because the curve is not that strong, so it makes me wonder how people can go so far off the driveway. I guess the subtleness of the curve actually makes it worse than if it were very obvious. Either that or I just know a lot of bad drivers. :) But I just wanted to add that you can't always "solve" the real problem and have to work with what you have. My driveway curves because on one side are three very large oak trees and on the other is the house. I obviously can't move the house, and I can't afford to (nor do I want to) take down 3 large oak trees. So my option is to work *with* the driveway. I have dealt with it so far by not extending the beds too close to the driveway (although there actually have been drivers who have come well over 3 feet past the edge of the driveway and into my beds) and I even tried a huge flat rock between the driveway and one bed which gets hit the most, hoping that it will serve as a gentle reminder that they are out of line with the driveway, but people have simply driven over it, despite it being 5 or 6 inches high (what with everyone having a big SUV these days and all). In the meantime I just have grass between the beds and the driveway. It seems to take the occasional abuse fairly well, and while it's not the nicest-looking and I'd love something nicer, for now it works. I'd love to find something else though, so I'll consider some of the things mentioned here. I have some of the Georgia Blue Veronica which needs to be moved, so I may move it to "the strip" and try it there. :) Dee P.S. I've been wanting to put a stone wall across the front of my property, but am afraid it will get hit because of people unable to drive!
