How's yours? Dave, The more the merrier! I think 'Myretoun Ruby' looks awfully good with 'Med. White'... Kim, Next time you pot up your Crown-of-thorns, you might need oven mits! If I ever pot up ours, I think I'll have to borrow a bear suit.

Dave, The more the merrier! I think ‘Myretoun Ruby’ looks awfully good with ‘Med. White’…

Kim, Next time you pot up your Crown-of-thorns, you might need oven mits! If I ever pot up ours, I think I’ll have to borrow a bear suit.

Your opportunistic offspring there made me smile. The only good surprise I've had this week was that it wasn't nearly as hard to transplant my crown-of-thorns euphorbia as I had thought it would be. (It was only in a 6in pot, and using a pair of meat tongs made quick work of it. It will not be so easy once it's ready to leave its 8in pot!) What wonderful surprises!

A nice surprise! We have the Mediterranean white heather in our yard and I've determined that we need more! They add a little color to the winter landscape. I like the heathers you have going.

The weather has been so hideously up-and-down that I haven't gone out in the yard for several days...but now I'll have to go look at my 'Diane' hamamelis to see how it's doing.
