Well, glad I'm not alone in the spider mite department. They make everything look so nasty. Yes, this year has had a bumper crop of them.
Franny is a full sized Aussie, 11 years old. Here's a photo of her under the rhody (again!) with our smaller sized version, Skippy. We call him the 'baby dog' even though he's 3 now. He keeps Fran on her toes making sure he is disciplined. Ha!!


OOOH Vizz, thanks for the canna division! Now I can't wait until next year! I've got lots of plants, as you know, so just dmail me what you are looking for. Today I'm doing 'notes' for next year's garden and getting more cannas, particularly the variegated foliaged ones, is top on the list. I had a 'vision' for one particular bed this year and it didn't at all work the way it was supposed to. Not nearly enough tropicanna, and the nile lilies gave me only one bloom. Rats!
