Donna--Beautiful stragglers. I partcularly liked the mushrooms. Up here in MA, there is a very old old mushroom society (the Mycological Society of Boston--oldest one in North America I think) that holds mushroom walks. We have gone several times, and enjoyed the fruits thereof!

Donna thanks so much for the tour. I love your roses and that brugmansia is gorgeous. Fungi have always intrigued me and I enjoy taking photographs of all the different varieties I find.

The young plants I winter over in my sunroom. (1 gal.pots or smaller). This year most are going into the garage.
I have two planted that are huge and I just put straw around them.

Yes lukey. It's the roots of an oak tree that Irene took down. It's at least 10 ft. over my head standing next to it with a hole about 4 ft. deep under it full of muddy rain water.
I would love to decorate it for halloween, but no one would see it but me.
