tiger lilies-they grow on roadsides like weeds, and mountain laurel are my favorites

Is it a huge tree ? Thats what I wanted but they shed something aweful. Cant plant one now.

It's not overly huge, I'd say around 25' tall.. Beautifully shaped as well.

Do they > Thats the ones that are upside down blooms ? Mountain Laurel supposed to grow here but I didnt have luck w/ them.

I lost Toms fav. this year. It was a rose of sharon bush about 12 ft. tall and loaded w. double mauve blooms. Just up and died for no reason I can tell.

yes orange with black stripes. We tried transplanting mountain laurel bushes and they didn't do well. They look delicate and gorgeous near the tree line

love the scent! too cold to grow here

Funny, I dint notice any kind of smell from them. But what I suspected last year of being gardenia bushes that had been mowed to the ground, indeed turned out to be gardenia bushes this spring. I picked a flower daily and brought it in the house to float in my water container by the front window.. Scrumptious!

Would love some tiger lilys. Lilys are my fav. astatic being on the top of the list. So ML probably dont like being transplanted.
