At least four more vines, and maybe my new variegated evergreen Clematis. I've got my fingers crossed. Three Honeysuckles have massive buds, Million Bells Clematis and Hummingbird Vine (? [dunno] ) aren't due yet. The two Passion Flowers may or may not be back..... Seems like I'm missing one..... [perplexed]

The first two Hummingbird House Honeysuckle are blooming, and the Hummers are LOVING it! I'm enjoying the yard filling fragrance quite a bit, myself....

We will be up soon Bill. Kids are out of school next week and then after my mom leaves, I will start planning a trip up. Will be without Patrick though cuz my Mom is taking him with her when she leaves.

Here are some of the flowers I took last time I was up at Bills. These are either on or around the Hummingbird House.

I've loved revisiting this. It is the most wonderful creation!!!
Love that bird on it's nest. A beautiful place for it. Much better than inside a birdhouse!!
I've enjoyed reading everything you have about your place, and what you have done with it.
I would love to see it all.

Have you got a picture of the heart you made out of the little tree so we can see how it has grown?
