'Cane's Hybrid' thus far. The heat was even worse here this week and the few roses I had all shriveled. I'm glad you were able to rescue some of yours and those beautiful sweet peas to enjoy inside. I broke my self-imposed water restrictions yesterday to conduct emergency resuscitations but I'm afraid I waited too long in some cases.

I'll see what I can do about sending you a nice cooling 60 degree breeze from my garden. outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376265981959655408.post-21269763169721289612015-05-01T19:41:48.230-07:002015-05-01T19:41:48.230-07:00No idea.

It certainly looks like the photos you posted.

I was taken by this bit of an article in the NYT about a musician/watch collector:<br /><br />“My first tattoo looks nothing like my last tattoo, and they’re the same thing,” Mr. Mayer said. He pulled up the right sleeve of his T-shirt to demonstrate.<br /><br />“That’s the best koi fish you can find,” he said dismissively, nodding toward the crude fish tattoo he got at 18. “And that,” he said, pulling up his other sleeve to show off a lovely reinterpretation he got at 32, “is the koi fish that you want.”<br /><br />He lowered the sleeve. “It all represents the trip through knowledge.”<br /><br />Gardening is also a "trip through knowledge".
