What a beautiful clump of Beverly Sills.. Hurray! If it had looked that good in my garden, I would have kept it. I think there was too much root competition where I had it.. Love the row of hostas in the background too... They grow ok here, but never look as lush as they do in other parts of the country..

Boy, I've added a boatload of historics since this thread started..

Here are just a few from the 40's...

The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.
