Like you, I have one that gets more sun than the one right next to it - there is a sun/shade dividing line between them, and the one that gets sun does look brown and sad in the summer while it's neighbor is fine.

I planted it in shade (which it's suppose to like) and then some trees fell and now it's in full summer sun (which it definitely does not like). Other than the leaves browing, it seems very tough. And prickly!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-36212895776320861312009-02-07T19:45:00.000-06:002009-02-07T19:45:00.000-06:00Jan - glad it cheered you up -- it sure does make ...Jan - glad it cheered you up -- it sure does make me smile every time I go past her.
