@MGBrcktt My problem is I need to get the cages around them earlier as they get big quick.

@MGBrcktt @KCZelachowski Remember this Penco item?

@MGBrcktt I had a bunch of these numbers in the original box up in the attic. The guests get a laugh when we tell them we've reserved Room 1 for them.

[Ken Chester Native New Englander @KennethChester]

@MGBrcktt Our guestroom door has a brass Penco #1. I added it as a kind of joke as we have only one guestroom.

@MGBrcktt Yes it is a small world. We sold for them for years along with 30 other companies ranging from lighting to greeting cards. We also had our own out wholesale line of about 1000 items we sold nationally until we retired.

@Mopar @LFODCandles I do see them in garden centers now and then for sale. Too bad you're not closer I could give you tons of seedlings which do transplant well.

[Ken Chester Native New Englander @KennethChester]

@LFODCandles @Mopar Transplanting them is hard as they have a very long taproot.

@MGBrcktt Sounds like a great foundation formed with your dad and family that you still enjoy today. So many aren't that fortunate.

@MGBrcktt Beauty is everywhere when you pay attention. I looked a clusters of forget me nots up close, they are such beauties when you kneel down and look.

@Shaun_Terhune Thank you. The lupine in Sugar Hill are magical with the purple blooms with a purple mountain view as a backdrop. We stayed with friends that had a log cabin off Sunset Lane 25 years ago. People were out photographing lupine at 5am as we could hear their voices.

@MGBrcktt I took this a year or so ago of our trail to the road. I let them grow a while and the two really made quite a floral show. The picture doesn't do it justice, but you get the idea.

@Schreibernews It's a great spot, but 12 miles of fairly rough road take more than an hour. The road there has been closed from the flooding for two years, I hope it's open this season.

@Schreibernews We're staying with Lopstick as we do every spring and fall. I look for the interview on your channel. Boundary Pond end of the day
