I bought one (only one, I think that's all I'll need) at the NHS sale yesterday. Just hoping I didn't make a mistake, it's just so pretty this time of year. I've resisted buying it for years because of its aggressive reputation, but I finally succumbed. The Euonymus seedpods are so colorful, I don't blame you for including them. <br /><br />So sorry to hear you are still missing your sweet dog. We lost a cat many years ago that I still miss.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.com
