thanks, Seq--that's very kind of you! :-) The osteospermum is a tender perennial that I picked up early in the season at one of my favorite nurseries -- I was browsing around and succumbed to the siren call ;-). They haven't cared much for the weather so far but finally seem to be stabilizing. I don't know how they'll do with the humidity by midsummer.

The mountain laurel has grown well for me so far this year--maybe 4-5 inches? Here's a photo showing the new lighter green growth on top of the older darker green on one of the stems. The blossoms are all on the older, darker green parts.
