I simply desired to thank you very much yet again. I do not know the things that I would have gone through without those solutions contributed by you on such subject. This has been a very troublesome difficulty in my position, nevertheless understanding this professional avenue you resolved that made me to cry with gladness. Now i am thankful for this support and even hope that you are aware of a great job your are doing educating people via a blog. More than likely you’ve never met all of us.

I saw Stan and Steph’s garden during last summers heat wave in Portland. Those 100 degree+ temperatures didn’t seem to affect the rocks at all. The prudent use of water in the front section seemed to spring all of those varieties of plants to bloom. It was and is spectacular!
Oh, by the way, don’t travel with Stan into the wilds as he will make you carry your weight in rocks back to his Eden.

Ricki-

You make my garden sound so much better than I think it is. The pictures were great. Thanks.

Jane: Nope, that is one of many humungous sunflowers sprinkled around the garden.
Grace: I first saw a Chocolate Mimosa at Heronswood. Love at first sight, but like most new introductions it remained too rich for my blood…part of the pleasure in Stan’s story.
Loree: Everyone seems to agree that the Mimosa is the star of this garden.

Hi Ricki~~ Interestingly I’ve never been all that thrilled with the smallish, like six-inch sized, Chocolate Mimosa that I’ve seen. But seeing it this size, oh my gosh. I want it. Now. That is one gorgeous tree. Thank you for the tour.

I’m in lurve with that gorgeous chocolate mimosa! I can’t believe those pictures were taken in a three-year-old garden. Shouldn’t it be having tantrums, or something equally distasteful? It looks remarkably mature. And is that tetrapanax I see peeking out from behind the cornus?
