I lo...Beautiful garden, Rose. Happy GBBD in August!<br />I love your clematis and will find this variety to plant the next spring. The problem of all Hydrangea paniculata is the weak branches that bend with flowers especially after rain. I always find some broken branches after rain! So I took a plastic net (as fishermen') and put it around the branches, so they rise above and the flowers do not bent on a soil.Nadezdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159291982383302922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-28085130893083705472014-08-17T11:00:16.483-05:002014-08-17T11:00:16.483-05:00Blooming lovely bloom Rose.

I have only one small patch of Oriental lilies, and I'm always grateful if the deer and rabbits leave them alone so they can bloom! I'm scared to try hydrangeas because of the deer. Can't grow hosta either! However, I do have Cosmos, but only in carefully selected spots, Rudbeckia, and I just planted a 'Becky' daisy! I hope I have good luck with that! I didn't plant 'Zowie' this year, instead opting for 'Old Mexico', but they had very poor germination and I'll look for 'Zowie' again next year. Lovely gardens as always, Rose, and your grandson is adorable!
