And I forgot to ask the forces that be, what came over me to stick a butterfly bush cutting in the middle of a patch of Amaryllis? (Yes, that's what you're seeing in that pic.) The best I can come up with is that I was thinking, "I need to move some of these Amaryllis from Mom's house to my house now that I have somewhere to put them... and why not take along a little BB while I'm at it?" Or, "When the Amaryllis go dormant, the BB will just be getting started?" I really don't know. I propagate so impulsively, I "find" plants in weird places often & have to ask myself, "Was I landscaping or just starting something there temporarily?" Sometimes I know, sometimes the fleeting past rationale is just not apparent.

That is a definite, well -recognized, long-standing, planting strategy called " I don't need to write this down..lI will remember I put it there"

Don't squat with yer spurs on!

People try to turn back their "odometers." Not me. I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved
