Again thanks for all the kind words...had a chance to spend a little time in the seat today......after a GR with a johnny bucket, I LOVE this thing. The GR was ok for what it was, but it is not the machine the BX is, but I suspect most of you know that. I started clearing out some woods on the side of my house, but I;ll start another thread with that (and pics).
Shett......those are azilias. My farther planted them amost 60 years ago and some of them are almost 12 feet high now. I do not know which species (there are several), but they do get pretty this time of year...they only last two to three weeks and then the blooms fall of tel next spring. They like high acid soil. : )
