Now it's a separate card and they send it to our mairie. Our préfecture is 45 mins away, so it's much better that we don't have to go all the way there.<BR/><BR/>susan, our camellias get dappled morning sun in the summer, so I guess they're in a good spot after all!<BR/><BR/>claude, with the recent low temperatures, it looks like winter is hanging on for a bit.wcshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551283829616757577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-57436615114921243442008-03-18T23:44:00.000+01:002008-03-18T23:44:00.000+01:00Terrific photos, Walt!

We lost a couple that were in complete, dark, gloom-of-night shade, but the rest were fine. It looks like yours have added a nice spot of color to your yard.<BR/><BR/>...Susansusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14017788096350527796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-37040479280293926952008-03-18T15:52:00.000+01:002008-03-18T15:52:00.000+01:00Hi Walt - I saw your comment on Owen's blog and I ...Hi Walt - <BR/><BR/>I saw your comment on Owen's blog and I was wondering how long you had to live in your town before you could apply for the CDS. Did you do it entirely by mail, or did you originally have to go to an office (Préfecture or l'Hotel de Ville)?Starmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12386841450183061541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-65856873399303307262008-03-18T15:38:00.000+01:002008-03-18T15:38:00.000+01:00Hi Walt,Do camillias need sun in your area?

When they slow down, I fertilize them, and then they bloom better the next year.chrissouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00398602853402174732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-61712939346733187152008-03-18T12:40:00.000+01:002008-03-18T12:40:00.000+01:00Your garden has fragrance as well as color.

I would trade you all my wisteria tendrils for a few more flowers. Please, when your wisteria blooms, post a photo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
