| The pink, Mother of Thyme plants have no pink blooms this year
I planted some beautiful, pink, Mother of Thyme plants last summer and they did wonderfully. They look healthy, have spread nicely, but this year there are no pink blooms at all. We have had a very wet spring/summer (26 straights days of rain), and I'm wondering if this is the reason. Is there anything I can do about this - other than wait and see what happens next year?

| Have I ruined my hydranga?
I have a hydranga that I just found out that I have been pruning wrong. I have been cutting it back to the ground after it freezes and then it doesn't produce any flowers the next year, although the plant itself looks great and healthy. Have I ruined my flowering hydranga or will it bloom again next year if I leave it alone?
I know now that I should only be cutting off the dead branches and not doing a hard prune.
Any help you can give would be appreciated.
Thank you.

| How should I care for my azaelas?
My daughter bought me 2 azaela trees with twisted trunks. I have never had luck with azaelas in pots and am worried how I will care for these trees. They are about 3 feet high and in complete bloom at the moment. Please help, I don't want to kill them. I have room to keep them
indoors. My house back faces south with no shelter from the sun. The front gets a lot of sun but does get some shelter as the sun moves.

| What are your "favorite" Arkansas plants?
Hi, Our family has lived in Arkansas for almost one year
now. We tried, with limited success, to add more landscaping around our yard last year. We did not do well with azaleas; we bought about a dozen and they all died except the two we left in containers. My question for Gregg: What are your "favorite" Arkansas plants for really
filling up a fairly empty yard. We have some boxwoods and hollies already. We love English Laurel shrubs and also honeysuckle vine, but I'm not sure how they will do in the heat. Are there any vines that do well in the heat and full sun?
