From July through October, the blooms are very showy, and I regularly notice that someone has cut off flower heads (presumably for bouquets). It would bother me more if there were not literally thousands of flower heads, so I don't miss a few. Still, it would be nice to be asked first.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323811980627840654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669721126705732069.post-70523979462894086582014-07-02T18:01:54.151-04:002014-07-02T18:01:54.151-04:00It seems the planter is even chained!
