Last year 'Sherborne Swift' was moved to a new spot where it should get lots of attention.

'Summer Fragrance' was another victim of roots last year. It will get relocated.....if there's anything left to relocate.

'Stained Glass' was moved to a new spot where it'll get more sun last summer - but it fried to a crisp. I hope it will be more acclimated in that spot this year.

We had more rain this morning - but most of the big storms went north of here. We're plenty wet already.

Topaz had a rough year last year - too much soil was washed away from the crown. It was replanted & since it's a fast grower I hope it rebounds this year!!

Tokudama Flavorcircinalis has always done well where it's been since 2002, but it probly gets more sun than it needs.

Sundance got a double whammy last year - crab apple roots & then crown rot. Sure glad it looked good the year before.

Wylde Green Cream is a green margined sport of Vanilla Cream. I'll be interested to see how similar it is to the Heart & Soul I got from Stephanie/tsneal in the 2nd Hallson trade last year.
