A year cycle in the life of ...... at Mooring Hitch I split the original plant into three. Late September we stone frame bed #6, the three specimens of this plant are in the inner front part of the bed. Images of the plant will have to wait until spring/summer when they emerge. One out of 3 plants survive the flood 2011. Watch for excess dryness and sun in summer, lost the large chinaberry tree that shaded the area.
