I would have to agree w/ everyone else. Cottonwoods can be messy. We have a lot of cottonwoods and aspen in the neighborhood and when the fluff-balls are flying it does look like it's snowing!!! :lol:
Mature cottonwoods can be very impressive trees. I like the fall color and light bark of...

Man...I never knew it would create such drama...:rolleyes: Maybe I need to just do flower or chicken avatars and be more mysterious....:D
So did you just do the cuttings? How long does it take them to root?
vfem, awesome project! Let us know how it turns out.
Your penstemon is beautiful. I'm very jealous!!! Penstemon has never overwintered well for me here in MI...must be too snowy and wet? Seems like there are only a few kinds that do ok up here....:/

Congrats on the Malva! They reseed themselves very well. You have been warned... :P Much better than having the weeds tho! Good weeds. lol :thumbsup
