You'd better watch out for that September Sun!! Mine is consuming everything around it this year. :eek: Looks like you've got a couple in potential peril. :wink:

More great pics! I am glad to see that one of Tidewater...I just got it from Chris and have never really seen of it. It is really beautiful. How old is yours? Marilyn Monroe is at the top of my wish list! Oh, that list is getting long... :roll:

Your Marilyn looks really good!! :cool: I'll have high expectations for mine next year then. I think it has 3 or 4 leaves so far this spring.

How much light does your Parhelion get?? It looks a lot more green than mine does and mine just gets dappled midday light.

Rox, this is the second flush of leaves, the first got frozen back! :(

Reldon, it is planted in a spot that gets dappled light from sunup until noon when it is in full sun until 3:30 or 4 pm. No burn problems, just Gandalf the Grey chewing on the petioles. :roll: I am learning to live with cat damage, it is the voles that I hate! :evil: :evil: :evil:
