Diana, your beautiful Blue Billows hydrangea looks as happy as if it had never been moved. It's the outer cornerstone of my reworked front landscape bed (between the front door and the outer corner of the house). I'd been wondering what to put there, and it's perfect! Thank y ou!

The water celery does "escape" from a water garden pot from time to time and grows quite happily nearby... may get a bit more water than the rest of the garden areas from when I top off the pot (I stick the hose in, then get distracted, and the pot overflows). I have a really big clump that I've weeded out of the lotus pots, just threw it on the ground, and it's still showing green 2 weeks later.

looks great, Diana. Cute picture of Harry!

I didn't bring much home from the swap, on purpose. But DonnerSally gave me a pot of amaryllis that is now blooming amazing huge red flowers on nice awesome short stalks. Right on the deck. Awaiting bloom on daylilies from swap. But mostly this spring is clean up what I already have. Moving a couple things that were from previous swaps and have become sizeable enough to use in new places.
Plant it and they will come.

Diana,

We keep the coffee plants outside as long as the temps stay above 50. After that, they come in for the winter.

I'm going to repot mine next week-end. It's been in the same pot for 2 years now, so I think it's time.
