So happy you share my love for this pretty tree. I can't remember the year I planted it, but it must have been near twenty (or more) years ago now. It took several years before it started to bloom, but has done a show-off job since then. Best part is, it blooms off and on for about seven months.
We did get some extra rain here this year (thank God) but we have an automatic sprinkling system to keep our yard green. I am so blessed to have all this. Thanks for looking and commenting. :)
