I am now certain that I must grow these next year! :) Layanee answered my question about the Juicy Fruit, and I see that you answered. You and she both seem to grow Fr. Hugo's rose, too... is that as graceful as it seems in your picture? (Books like to only show the flowers, but I'm struck by the lovely foliage/branches I see on Fr. Hugo in your photo.) <em>Kim, Tulipa batalinii are very sweet - a must. There may be other interpretations than juicyfruit gum for the Carolina allspice but I'm stuck with that one - that's just how it is with scents! And stay tuned for a long shot of the Father Hugo's rose - it's an outstanding shrub. -kris</em> You’re the second blogger who’s showed off a gorgeous tulipa batalinii… I am now certain that I must grow these next year! :)
