I shall feel that I have worked with God."

    I have several in my yard, some I've tried to kill off and it is near impossible. Did you know that they propagate easier than any shrub I've known? Cut the ends, put in a big vase of water and you'll have roots shooting off the bark in about a week's time. Sorry for the long ramble :) I love the color on that one!

    I have a white one that is just beginning to bloom. Have never seen a purple. It is absolutely beautiful.
    Thanks to BusyWorkingMama, I was wondering if I could propagate it. Now I know:) The thing one learns blogging:)

Giveaway: Clear Quartz Dagger Earrings by WireQueen

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over! Congratulations to the randomly chosen 108th commenter, Andalene! Accessorize an outfit and rejuvenate your spirit at the same time! Michelle of WireQueen is bequeathing a beautiful pair of clear quartz earrings to one of my readers. The design is named "Midwife Healer" in honor of the midwife that delivered her second daughter. The four sided dagger beads are different lengths and embraced by sterling silver wrap with surgical steel earwires.

Michelle believes that the Creator gave to all things a purpose, including gemstones. She covers as little of the "face" of the stone as possible, but still secures it safely in its setting.
