Rise of the Rodents

[Fireball]

We had a huge, beautiful deep pink Oleander bush on the back corner of the house.  It provided wonderful shade to the kitchen and flowered for months every year.  The extended deep freeze we had in February killed it...there was no coming back from that level of dead.  Husband bought and planted another one that seems to be doing well but we won't know till it flowers if it's that same pink or if it's white.

He got rid of the crepe myrtles.  They had never really grown all that well...were here when we bought the house.  He used the freeze as the death knell for those.

Husband gave up on azaleas.  He had wonderful luck with them in SC...the whole front of the house was lined with them.  He's not been so lucky here.

The mystery of the color of the new Oleander has been solved.  It's gonna take a while to catch up to the one that froze to death though.
