- About Me:
I spend most of my time exploring nature with my wife. I try to take my camera wherever I go out so I don't miss anything special. I mostly enjoy reptiles as I always have since I was a child. I have many pets and I spend much of my time with them as well.
- Favorite Animals:
- I have to say reptiles. They are not warm and cudley, but they are tough and fascinate me.
- Favorite TV Shows:
- Favorite Music:
- Anything but country. I do like old time country.
- Best Outdoor Experience:
- I was road cruzing for snakes to take pictures one night and a barred owl flew in my car window and landed on the dashboard. I know they have sharp nails I bailed out so fast the door flew back and split my head.

Thanks for the advice re Ardesia; I already have some on the west wall, and it's doing fine. Had no trouble at all in the recent cold snap. But yes, on the north, it might not have as much luck. Walter's viburnum is lovely and I've always wanted some; thanks for the suggestion! I don't know why I didn't think of it, but I'm glad you did! I would definitely need to get a dwarf variety, though. (That's also why I didn't just go with Elderberry, which I also love; is there a dwarf Sambuca out there?)
I'll hit the phones to the native nurseries this afternoon looking for Viburnum! (I went to Google and found this from Floridata.com: "'Mrs. Schiller's Delight' is a dwarf selection especially suited to formal hedging.")
