Thank you, I enjoyed them. However, may I make a couple of comments? The plant
you had labeled "Pyrocamels." That is undoubtedly xPyracomeles, which is a
hybrid between Pyracantha & Osteomeles. We discussed this before.
I loved the little mame stands, but why in God's name are they painted pink &
orange?

Hi Iris,

The actual color of the stands were red. The flash from the cameras caused
the various pigments in the paint to come out the colors you saw.

Hi Iris,

Long time since we talked. Thanks for clarification on the plant's name. I
will correct the website. As George said in another email, some of the stands
were bright red. At first it was grating to the eye by after a bit the stands,
and they only had several that were red, provided a good accent piece with
little distraction, believe it or not.

In case it -wasn't- just me, I found this easier.
