I love the interior of the Hugenot church, but my favorite graveyard was/is the one at the Unitarian Church. Before Hugo, I dragged all my visiting friends and relatives to it.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281256160705697856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-6322709575124697162008-10-19T19:51:00.000-04:002008-10-19T19:51:00.000-04:00The info about growing these helps a lot - I have ...The info about growing these helps a lot - I have an O.f. "Aurantiacus" growing in shade which hasn't bloomed yet (it's only a couple of years old), and I've been toying with the idea of moving it. Now I think I'll just try to be patient (quite a challenge for me) and give it some time. <BR/><BR/>Charleston is one of my favorite places - I used to spend lots of time there while visiting relatives in Ladson. My Cherokee rose was grown from a cutting which "fell" into my pocket as I was "examining a gravestone" in the cemetary of the Huguenot Church. It's a crime I've been regretting for many years now; those dead Huguenots sure get their revenge as I prune that monster all year, cussing and bleeding profusely!Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12538769872317933763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-66724902562367899022008-10-19T08:06:00.000-04:002008-10-19T08:06:00.000-04:00Thanks Les, I understand not wanting to mention th...Thanks Les, I understand not wanting to mention the garden center...will be heading out to Suffolk.Janet, The Queen of Seafordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876204203323750245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-26660183425957034042008-10-19T06:29:00.000-04:002008-10-19T06:29:00.000-04:00Tina,I am not sure why yours struggles, maybe you ...Tina,<BR/>I am not sure why yours struggles, maybe you get too cold in the winter?

I'm already craving the Fudingszhu and Aurantiacus--I don't have the Goshiki, either, and it's really cute. My heterophyllus, though, is quite tall (the older ones are about 8-9 feet) and it is fragrant, although the flowers are almost imperceptible. Thanks for posting on this glorious shrub. I love your idea of making a cake that tastes like these smell--let me work on it . . . (though I best hurry, while I can still smell them . . .)Cosmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14260783700118031314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-7786052561813615702008-10-18T17:17:00.000-04:002008-10-18T17:17:00.000-04:00Very interesting...will need to look into this pla...Very interesting...will need to look into this plant more thoroughly.
