Good question about the Styrax - I'd call it an "excellent question" if I had the answer! I must have been too focused on looking up their skirts to notice the lopsidedness and now that I've checked it out, you've got me! It IS bloomless on the windward side... I'll ask Fred... For any of you who haven't already seen Layanees blog, click on her name! In addition to seeing beautiful shots of Blithewold on her most recent post, if you scroll down, you'll see gorgeous pics of her own garden (it's nearly the size of Blithewold and she doesn't have volunteer help!) and Brendan, I was thinking that the pictures of baby bamboos would be temptation for another visit -- some of the culms are taller than you now - better come by soon!

Things are looking great in the photos, and from what I can remember from the las tour, I need to get back and sit under the bamboo for a while. I am so thinking of touring b-wold sometime soon.

I had no doubt you were a 'real' person as your posts are down to earth...literally. I enjoyed the tour and noticed that your Styrax is blooming heavily but only on one side! What do you make of that? Wind damage? Curious. Tomorrow I am so going to enjoy my walk in my own bousquet! :) I did run into Fred at the entrance and it was nice to catch up with him.
