I kind of did it just for fun, since we had pods all over our deck, but they grew really well. I also tried starting some seeds the same way from our golden rain tree, but not a single one grew.Dog_geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12797650391128520269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8257600656581656906.post-74606878771550320522008-09-03T10:37:00.000-04:002008-09-03T10:37:00.000-04:00Marnie,The doubles look so totally different from ...Marnie,<BR/>The doubles look so totally different from the singles you would never think it was a Sharon.flydragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10561665960229511333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8257600656581656906.post-91669668176186739932008-09-02T19:30:00.000-04:002008-09-02T19:30:00.000-04:00I like those doubles.

Not until I took that first picture back then, was I even interested. I still remember how nice those first pictures were that I e-mailed to you. Got me hooked. So any picture I take now is because of you.flydragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10561665960229511333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8257600656581656906.post-50678550568666420432008-09-02T12:51:00.000-04:002008-09-02T12:51:00.000-04:00Love your one-liner titles:-) And I agree with NVA...Love your one-liner titles:-) And I agree with NVAM and you-- that's my favorite,too.

So I'm not sure what they're doing.

They actually bloomed in their very first year, and now in their second year they are very nice looking small bushes with lots of blooms. They were so darned easy to grow, I think I'm going to start a few more!Dog_geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12797650391128520269noreply@blogger.com
