This one has some fragrance but I think there's another couple of plants that go by the same name? Anyone help me out here?<BR/>Carol, there were some other Vaccinium species in the greenhouse, one in fruit, a couple coming into flower, that were equally interesting.

I know he doesn't feel like much of a cutie with his claws in your foot, but he's really a doll to look at. I'll just stand over here while I'm wearing wool socks, k?

It's such a good idea I'm going to borrow it. Not blue, but a signature color all my own. And I'm totally with you about the milkweed. Milkweed = Monarchs.

Well, I'm not sure if it's socks or if it's feet that Simon is so enamored with. It's probably socked feet.

Three inches long, that would be interesting to see the fruit. <BR/><BR/>I've seen bayberry in the garden center before, so I assume I could grow it around here.
