I know I draw you in here by musing - it's why I do it! And, yes, I won't stalk you for saying rhodies are not your favorite bloom. I may pray that you starve to death or get beaten by starving baby elephants! ;-) Obviously, I am nutso over them. Yeah, that is actually what was a freshly-planted Laburnum at this 10 acre residential project I did for a Reno builder. It has developed nicely, although a major main branch broke in snowfall one year - a problem with many of the softer woods. But it recovered nicely. Thanks for visiting. I love pulling yer leg. .-= Steve´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.stevesnedeker.com/2676/machines-and-innovations.html" rel="nofollow">Machines and Innovations in Landscaping</a> =-.

Rhodies, I must admit, have never been a favorite. Gracious, is it all right to admit that? Is that a golden dangling laburnum ..or wisteria of some kind? More my 'cup of tea,' along with the desert blooms, of course ;~) Alice .-= Alice Joyce´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/IkGI/~3/uCMTdy6bNfA/elegant-symmetry-lush-greenery-getty.html" rel="nofollow">Elegant Symmetry - Lush Greenery ...

One of them is called Slide Mountain. Why? Because it "slid", in I think, 1962. The debris spilled out for miles. The back side of those mountains are the Lake Tahoe, by the way, with skiing up there. .-= Steve´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.stevesnedeker.com/2676/machines-and-innovations.html" rel="nofollow">Machines and Innovations in Landscaping</a> =-.
