The Royal Sunset has been blooming for about 2 weeks, yes, but it's also in a sunny, south-facing spot.

Something to be said for those scrubbier but hardier fellows.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-18237435193871826982012-06-23T06:25:51.266-07:002012-06-23T06:25:51.266-07:00For all of those reasons, but really just because ...For all of those reasons, but really just because they're so beautiful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-87226702869224571862012-06-22T23:33:15.965-07:002012-06-22T23:33:15.965-07:00Adrienne your life will be forever richer because ...Adrienne your life will be forever richer because you have opened your heart and your home to a kitten.<br />Hope that your weekend is a happy one!<br />XOhostess of the humble bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453827257671312902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-48739793638527874652012-06-22T23:30:39.909-07:002012-06-22T23:30:39.909-07:00Where about in NZ do you live?
