    This plant is about 25 years old. This year it is about 3 ft. wide and almost 3 ft. tall. Total bloom is probably close to 400?

    Capt... I couldn't help but notice the plaque with your name on it. Is there a special story to go along with it?

    No special story, it's just to let anyone who comes back here, who lives here.
