He likes the old fashion kind. There is a big beautiful bush (actually more like a tree) just on the other side of our fence (unfortunately) that he covets. For some reason, this bush does not have suckers so we had to try to root some cuttings. We were not successful last year. We will try again this year. Do you know how to root a lilac cutting?cedarmerefarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16884226522131587799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494925975380418965.post-56568936657226054632014-05-05T11:04:19.726-04:002014-05-05T11:04:19.726-04:00That sounds lovely, Alice.

Imagine my delight when I moved into my current house and the big bushes in the front turned out to be pink crepe myrtles!

Maybe you can start a trend for organic, local carnations. I don't know Cecil Brunner, but I want a potting shed with roses growing over it. And to know more about your grandparents.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606982492407185097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494925975380418965.post-52374531722129789872014-05-01T08:57:35.820-04:002014-05-01T08:57:35.820-04:00We have lilies of the valley here too.

My grandfather underplanted mint down the slope of his canyon garden in San Diego and when I'd come in from playing, I'd smell of it.<br />And in the front my grandmother had what I thought was a rather austere cutting garden of carnations and snapdragons that smelled amazing. And I can't leave out the Cecil Brunner rose that grew over their potting shed…so spicy and not at all austere!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15954245955512283932noreply@blogger.com
