Glad you can at least enjoy a pix of it Lynn. Sorry about not being able to grow them there.
They really don't like cool so they'd get a really late start where you are anyway, wouldn't they? I bet you could grow Oregon Grape Holly though, I've always admired that plant and wished I could grow it here. Great Gunnera would probably thrive there as well. I tried Gunnera last year. The poor thing rotted and disappeared. :sad:
Here is a cool and crisp looking bloom out in all this heat. Hydrangea - 'Pinkie Winkie'.
