Ken, I pulled bushels and bushels of spanish moss off some hydrangeas yesterday. Storms over the weekend brought tons of it down on all the shrubbery. I do use small bits of it in the bottom of flower pots to cover the drainage hole. Keeps the soil in until the root ball develops.
Anne, good work! You are making real progress on that GH. Wish I could ID that Tilly for you. Nothing in my admittedly incomplete inventory matches it.
