These ones may have reverted. They are beautiful though. I saw one more growing in the dry creek. Not a good place for it but too late to move it.<br />Abbey- Yes, I see them all over town and they are stunning. Too bad the flowers fall so quickly.

The leaves are a real pretty light green with pinkish flowers. I looked for one this past spring in the garden nursery here, but they didn't carry them. It is on my list of shrubs to obtain in the fall. Yours are really gorgeous with all the blooms.Cottage Domehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02295190958592410365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-26956070469109826992011-07-07T13:12:14.485-07:002011-07-07T13:12:14.485-07:00You've got some beautiful specimens!

I think the granite gravel might be the key. My grandmother had one long ago on her farm. The leaves were downy soft. It was one of her favorite plants.<br />David/ Tropical Texana/ Houston :-)Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12495040805660192347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-92147557822458724352011-07-06T15:27:31.229-07:002011-07-06T15:27:31.229-07:00I've seen multiutdes in full bloom down around...I've seen multiutdes in full bloom down around three rivers. majestic.
