Kudos to GlenRicks, Kathleen Hardwick, AnnGriswold, Jeanie Mills, Jackie Pogueand Pam Green for their hospitality,fabulous gardens and munchies. Wish Icould have enjoyed the tour the nextday as well. In many gardens, I saw the fabulous BrazilianBachelor Button, my love plant for this year. At first I wasready to rip it out of the ground, yelling, ‘Begone, youVarmint!’ It sprawled on the ground and looked pathetic. I ignored it, and several weeks later, itblossomed beautifully! And it just keeps on blooming!About 18 inches high and 24 wide right now, minenestles next to my Artemisia and Julia Child Rose. Centratherum intermedium, Button Beauty, haspurple thistle-like fragrant flowers and fragrant leaves.An annual, it reseeds very well and loves our sun. Itblooms from early summer and quits to frost. Maybe we should keep this a secret for a while.We don’t want it to become a too common.Newsletter contributions!December Deadline: November 20Send to JackiePogue@gmail.comPlease, type within an email,rather than attaching documents or pasting-in text;and please send photos as JPEG files.Thank you!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Please thank Phyllis Church, Robin Glenn, Judy Kautz,Susie Moore and Nelda Paden who proofed this issue.Thanks, ladies!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Gardeners Bring Meat to Masses Please thank Aileen Crosley, Rosalie Seebeck andBrenda Finch who prepared the meat dishes for ourThanksgiving lunch today.
