Although I do have some black and white ones I love, too.<BR/><BR/><B>Lisa ~</B> Yeah, and people wonder why we in the north get delirious with spring fever! This is why! LOL.<BR/>I got 'Robert' at Lowe's late last year, so maybe they'll have him again this year! I got 'Tib' there, too, but it's different - not this colorful at all. But maybe it's dead. LOL.<BR/><BR/><B>Jodi ~</B> Yes, like I said to Barbara, it just depends on what you want to highlight in the photo - color or structure.<BR/>I think I need more of 'Robert.' I love him!<BR/><BR/><B>Pam ~</B> Well, as I said, it's near a pine and a Euonymus, so siting wasn't all that much of an issue as far as color is concerned. Both the heather and the Euonymus turn about the same shade of red in the fall. I have a gray-headed coneflower somewhat nearby by that's yellow, so it works, too.<BR/><BR/><B>Robin ~</B> Yes, you have to get it! I insist! ;-)<BR/><BR/><B>Shady Gardener ~</B> I insist that you get 'Robert' too! He's a popular guy!<BR/><BR/><B>vonlafin ~</B> This is the first winter for this heather and also 'Tib.' This one looks great, but 'Tib' isn't looking so hot, so I wonder if it's died. Hope not!<BR/><BR/><B>Cindy ~</B> Oh, you are going to LOVE 'Hot Cocoa'!! And I love it that such a wonderful rose makes you think of me. :-)))Kylee Baumlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288354709094515651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-776050858529147482008-02-08T00:44:00.000-05:002008-02-08T00:44:00.000-05:00Wow!

The heather is just phenomenal though and all the more striking given that you have such a lack of color everywhere else. <BR/><BR/>Oh, btw I was thinking of you today as I picked out my first bareroot rose of the year at the nursery. It's a Hot Cocoa (been on my want-list for a long time) and will go in tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you as I plant it. :)<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>Cindy at Rosehaven CottageCindy Garber Iversonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543940998038589239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-91691449470398122802008-02-07T23:38:00.000-05:002008-02-07T23:38:00.000-05:00I tried heather years ago and it died...so this ye...I tried heather years ago and it died...so this year I am trying again.

Currently, of course, they're buried under snow. <BR/>and like you, I'm also fond of black and white photographs. We see things differently when the colour is removed, don't we?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107236871193698777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-85183479647383615862008-02-07T06:50:00.000-05:002008-02-07T06:50:00.000-05:00Your first pictures illustrate why we are all hung...Your first pictures illustrate why we are all hungry for color in the garden.
