Love the garden walk. Always excited to see what Julia Child and her friends are up to! Very interested in the low growing cleome. Haven’t heard of it before!

  This particular cleome was the featured plant at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens Spring Plant sale. We got two and they have done quite well. Here’s a link to the Proven Winners Site: http://www.provenwinners.com/plants/cleome/senorita-rosalita-spider-flower-cleome-hybrid

You’ve got a beautiful garden, with more than just roses. Our three-year-old Veterans Honor is also very tall and healthy.
