  2. Lovely pictures! They made my day! Thank you for your message at my blog the other day. You're a very wise man. I am going through some really tough times at work at the moment, and your words made me think. Today I tried to see those angry people with other eyes, and to think that thay are really hurt made it easier. So thanks again! I wish you a lovely Valentine's day!

  8. Great red ... hephaestion.
    But in my opinion the best red is on the Engleman Ivy.

    Are you sure that "Privet berries" are privet and not Berberis ottawensis?

  9. My goodness you have a little bit of "red-rything" in here and it made me grin at such variety! .. I have Engleman ivy at both ends of the lattice work of our deck and it does glow an impressive red burgundy in Autumn.
    Love all the different flowers and shrubs .. fantastic mix for a Valentine's fix ! haha
