Couple thoughts from a confused newbie. :) Thank you for the thread! As I struggle to learn, I find that I have wanted a right answer. For a beginner who doesn't feel they know enough to make the right decisions, it would be a welcome thing for there to be a right and wrong way or just one...

Okay, okay... Safety first. Also, warning to others... DO NOT Google naked gardening day! :o

Not enough years! I initially started to count, but quantifying it got too real for me. :p The knots in the wood fence. ;) Ha! I like it! You know those BBQ apron's with the bikini-clad woman? What about one with nekkid bonsai artist with a gardening apron complete with bonsai tools? I...

Hey, now... just a few more years and this'll be me. :p Besides, you're arguing my case for me -- I'm saying it's because I want to be free to do this that I should be able to have some privacy on my property.

Yeah, when I drive by a bright pink house, I do see the other side. At the same time, it is prohibitive to responsible and considerate homeowners. For instance, the windows we were denied looked better than the ones we ended up with, but they have a general rule and wouldn't consider an...

This stuff is exactly why we stayed away from HOA properties... For those in the area -- almost bought in Porter Ranch in the valley in '97 but every time we said to each other "Oh, maybe we could..." they said "No, that's against the rules." Particularly with regards to the yard and adding a...

I have one, but it's not interested in being propagated unless there's a slinky involved...

*snickers * Halt! Where is the license for this kinky slinky propagation? Image borrowed from Nathanbs

Oh yeah... It's becoming quite hopeless now. ;)

Are you offering to send me one or suggesting I vacation in OH? ;) Would the layered specimen do the same if I chop it back once the root system gets established?

Isn't a lesser fault though if the darn thing just grows that way? How can one expect taper from a plant that doesn't really taper naturally?

LOL! Reporter's keepers? :eek:

That's a good suggestion. I'll try to look for something like that or another feature (maybe curve or twist or something?) that looks like it might make that lack of taper less noticeable. In the end, if lack of good taper's all that's missing, I don't know that I'd be displeased. :)

Awesome! Then I shall layer away. Yeah, this one's grown out enough that it doesn't have a lot of great options including collecting. I like the flowers though and it will be good practice with an easy to root species. You mean, pretend to be a director? ;) I can do that... my photography...
