I dont really pay that much attention to the woods during the warmer times though. I am normally looking at a deer or some oher form of wildlife when gazing off into the woods. Warm temps keep snakes on the move so I dont walk into the woods until it has become really cold out there.... Your TN bought beatuy looks like its hanging on. good luck for many blooms after winter is over...Skeeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222522533934405029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-53523316177467159722012-10-25T09:36:23.267-04:002012-10-25T09:36:23.267-04:00very nice purple flowers..very nice purple flowers..Ruchi Jainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13565145854196414405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-55691151372479625122012-10-24T13:22:19.692-04:002012-10-24T13:22:19.692-04:00Lisa, they are all lovely.
