Always find it so frustrating that clear descriptions of hips are almost never included in catalogues, i.e. colour, shape, size, and how long they hold their colour, etc. - just some basic things you need to know when trying to plan for year-round interest in the garden. Yours are so beautiful, but no names! By the way, my understanding on the hips/heps question is that hips is the original/older term, but the Victorians felt the word far too indelicate (along with naked piano legs, etc.) so came up with the less suggestive alternative! Sorry I can't remember where I got this from. Anyway, many thanks for the beautiful pictures...BanksiaMarginatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00612252727980065753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5909646457483132633.post-78225087787899417852013-11-03T04:49:08.394+00:002013-11-03T04:49:08.394+00:00Absolutely love this post!
