Under the arbor is where I keep my houseplants. In the fall we load these
up on the dolly and move to the back porch.
Close up of the Crepe Myrtle. I noticed in some of the nicer homes these
bushes had the stalks on the bottom trimmed of branches. I had no idea why
so thought I would experiment. The results seem to be a more prolific
blooming.
This is the second blooming for the Weigelia. If the old blooms are cut
off then later on the bushes will bloom a second time. This was taken
before the cedar trees were trimmed. |
