There are in fact many cultivars available, as this brief list begins to show. Although many are available by mail order, I think the best time to purchase one is when they are in bloom so you can really see the color for yourself rather than a mere description or fuzzy photograph on the label. This also allows you the opportunity to see how the bloom color meshes with surrounding plants. (If you are planting one in high summer, do be sure it receives adequate water for the remainder of the growing season, up until the ground freezes.) If you've been admiring a particular unnamed Rose-of-Sharon growing in a neighbor's yard, you're in luck. This plant is very easy to root from cuttings during the summer time, so snip away and take one home. But remember please, do ask permission first! By the way, here is my newest Cottage Garden Link for that particular category of My Link List: please tour and enjoy this private suburban English garden complete with photographs and a detailed site map: Evenwood.
(Sorry this link is long gone too.) Recently, my daughter told me we/I won my very best World Wide Web Award ever: One of the Funniest Moms on the Web by Royal Decree. I am just so tickled!
You used to be able to read all about it at"Funniest Mom on the Web" but my royal court has been disbanded into the ether. Oh well, at least I enjoyed my "ten minutes"! ENJOY! I relaunched my topic under the new name of The Cottage Garden. But don't worry - the Eco-Gardens articles are archived right along with all the articles from The Cottage Garden.

Hi Gay! This particular caterpillar was labeled as a tomato hornworm in the photogallery where I found it, but I don't think that's what it is. It's too yellow. Somehow I doubt a bug expert labeled ...
