Pyracantha 'Mojave' in May, full of flowers, now covering half of the side of the garage... and here it is in October.

Each year I grow a few new plants just to see how they'll do. I need to "grow it to know it." And a plant that did such and so last year might NOT do such and so this year...keeping a journal helps to remember what was doing what last year at this time! or not!
And, remember that pictures in plant catalogs are brought to you direct from Hollywood. Perfect everything. Your garden's climate, soil, light, and your expertise will affect how the plants grow, and it may not be like the pictures! Just
keep growing, reading, taking notes and learning!
