All of these are in large pots. So much of what I have now is since these are the things that will go with me when we move (depending on how far that move is, if it's 800 miles, then they don't go). Most of the 'beds' on the property have been cleared now...too much to water and keep up. So, I'm really jealous, Sue, when I see how wonderful your anchusa azurea is looking! Mine is in a pot, but blooming, so I will have seeds from it if it does not 'travel'.

My "Shooting Stars" hydrangeas are looking better than ever, especially considering that they've been in large pots for their third year now (no good spot shaded for them in the ground). I also don't remember the blooms having the slight pink tinge before this year...

The Variegated Lacecap Hydrangeas are doing okay considering that they get far too much overhead sun this time of year and have not been fertilized either...

The Oakleaf Hydrangeas in pots look better than the ones in the ground. The ones in the ground went into what had been very packed soil, previously beneath asphalt...
