The winter was mild and my other macrophyllas are blooming, so all I can conclude is that it's not getting enough sun with a western exposure. Saw your patio on Instagram and I'm really impressed.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11106962533729909868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-503500621849621556.post-22355104194294659842017-08-24T11:34:52.766-04:002017-08-24T11:34:52.766-04:00I've only watered my pots about 6 times this s...I've only watered my pots about 6 times this summer.

Is that the same thing as "it never stops raining!!!"? Hard to believe that you have only been there two years. Many people would be thrilled with those results after two decades.

Your gardens are beautiful and lush. I love the Corydalis and may have to try it. The potted plants are eye popping....really gorgeous. Consider giving Lilies a try. There are more wonderful ones every year and they are the energizer bunnies of perennial flowerbeds.

You've got a lot going on - the Hydrangeas alone were impressive. I hope that patio construction is coming along well (or have you had rain delays?).
