They're the State flower of Maryland, but the grow really well in Virginia, too. Perennials, they can grow in some shade, which, in my yard, is a good thing. I like them because they'll bloom for several weeks here at the end of July, when most flowers are finished, providing color until the fall mums come in.
i once saw an arrangement of red chokeberries next to black-eyed susans. think it was at a funeral. wyrd.
ReplyDeleteWow, they're beautiful! Don't think I've seen them before, possibly we don't get them here in the UK. x
ReplyDeleteThey are my favorite flower. I guess that's because I was born in Maryland. I carried them as my wedding bouquet, picked myself in the field across the road from my house.
