Someone gave me a wreath with dried berries in it so I suppose you could dry them and put a backing on it to keep - or give to someone.<BR/>I was reading how you came about your computer name. That's great you play violin. When my aunt was alive she got a computer and wanted a name - I gave her pianogal. Kinda like your vioboy. And could she play - she sounded like a player piano and all these years I thought my Grandma taught her to play and found out she never had a lesson. I play my piano by ear also but not even close to what she could do. I finally figured it out and told her I knew why I couldn't play the wonderful fast music that she could - I didn't have that bounce in my butt like she did when she played. ;-)<BR/>Sorry guess I sort of got off the gardening subject but I loved that you play violin and like classical music. Good luck choosing your camera - your pics look good to me now and I LOVED the video of a year in the trees. That was fantastic!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963910338447112033.post-84028695797600211242009-02-24T11:43:00.000-05:002009-02-24T11:43:00.000-05:00Those look so yummy!

I'll have to stop by again (got here from your comment at Marnie's place).<BR/><BR/>I didn't know you could eat Service berries either ... around here (in the older part of the city) we don't see too many, but they're rampant in the burbs, where everyone says they ferment on the trees, the birds eat them and get drunk. I always thought they were just a parking lot ornamental before now, so thanks for the education on them. :-)Iowa Victory Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220818462081082930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963910338447112033.post-34238773139348558662009-02-19T10:22:00.000-05:002009-02-19T10:22:00.000-05:00i didn't know this tree yet, but i love the bluebe...i didn't know this tree yet, but i love the blueberries, even if they are kind of odd to my smal country. but it seems i was not the only one...<BR/>i have a small incentive to you waiting at my balcony, a blog award, if you'd like to receive it just stop by...buedamauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13453003514110767128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963910338447112033.post-40992447604550193902009-02-19T09:41:00.000-05:002009-02-19T09:41:00.000-05:00Hey Zach, feel free to reference my blog in your f...Hey Zach, feel free to reference my blog in your future post about orchids!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963910338447112033.post-29914553811836499832009-02-19T09:38:00.000-05:002009-02-19T09:38:00.000-05:00You are not kidding!

Even if you don't have a Serviceberry tree in your yard, that is okay, I am sure that one of your neighbores will have one or just keep your eyes on the lookout for one near shopping centers.<BR/><BR/>Jan:<BR/>I would think that Serviceberries are high in antioxidants, they have that deep color like most of the fruit that are.<BR/><BR/>Parsec:<BR/>Serviceberries really are yummy, and I know you will ove them.

I wouldn't have even known they grow on trees. And they really taste like blueberries? Wow, that would be a nice tree to have.

I know I wont be doing it this year, due to my being gone all summer.<BR/><BR/>Marnie:<BR/>The flowers really are beautiful, the berries are wonderful and the plant has wonderful form. It should really be staple for every yard!<BR/><BR/>Robin:<BR/>Definatly put one in the back yard, When looking for one, be sure that you get the right variety, due to some being sort of sour. On a whole, I have only found sweet ones! I really liked your heart ivy topiary. I agree with you, I would rather have some thing that will last longer than cut flowers. I have complete confidence in your ability to keep it healthy.Zachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14667303323277851230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963910338447112033.post-51594372547769038352009-02-17T11:44:00.000-05:002009-02-17T11:44:00.000-05:00Love the photos Zach!

Glad to hear that the serviceberries really are yummy, because I was just researching them yesterday, as I plan to put one in the back yard this spring. I really have a thing for heart shaped anything, that's why I've wanted a heart shaped topiary for so long.
