MY NAME IS MYRTLE


Fishtail Cottage is hosting

check it out.

  We are having a rainy overcast afternoon.  I always think that is a great time
to take cuttings. 
Our days are hot,hot, hot so the poor cuttings need a chance.

 Myrtle, which is my all time
favorite plant, is a good plant to use for cuttings.  I love the look of a topiary especially in Myrtle, Boxwood or Rosemary.
Each year I keep trying and it seems like Rosemary is the hardiest.

This is what sealed the deal for me. 
So I will keep trying and be patient.

Enjoy, Kathy

    Hi Kathy! I enjoy your blog so much, The topiaries are gorgeous. I have one large myrtle tree that was trained for years it does take awhile but is really worth the look.

    Oh yes!! I love myrtle and had a glorious one for 12 years. It grew on a windowsill and was elegant. I love them both outdoors and in.

    Thanks for this!
