There are two or three (I believe, one surely is) daughters of this on the property as it seeds prolifically. One that might be is pink and weeps the other is non weeping I guess like the original species. There is a young seedling about three feet tall that popped up in a bed and I kept around that shows weeping characteristics. I will probably keep that one and place it elsewhere or gift it. I also intend to make cuttings of the big one, it’s worth sharing and living on and on. <br/></span></p>http://maximiliani.tumblr.com/post/47796529034http://maximiliani.tumblr.com/post/47796529034Fri, 12 Apr 2013 14:58:00 -0400sakuraprunus subirtella pendulacherryspringhorticulture桜さくらgardeningDendrologycherry treescherry tree<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/577302286ffbffb3a34fc65c268f3b8d/tumblr_mksqilz6Ep1rce5tlo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://lottereinigerforever.tumblr.com/post/47208730840/camille" target="_blank">lottereinigerforever</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Camille</p> </blockquote>http://maximiliani.tumblr.com/post/47795461930http://maximiliani.tumblr.com/post/47795461930Fri, 12 Apr 2013 14:40:44 -0400CamilleGarboretching<iframe class="tumblr_audio_player tumblr_audio_player_47758914065" src="http://maximiliani.tumblr.com/post/47758914065/audio_player_iframe/maximiliani/tumblr_ml4jh1mu8H1qz6yoi?audio_file=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tumblr.com%2Faudio_file%2Fmaximiliani%2F47758914065%2Ftumblr_ml4jh1mu8H1qz6yoi" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" scrolling="no" width="500" height="169"></iframe><br/><br/><p>Nina Simone - ‘Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out’ (1959)</p>http://maximiliani.tumblr.com/post/47758914065http://maximiliani.tumblr.com/post/47758914065Fri, 12 Apr 2013 00:07:00 -0400Nina Simonebluesjazzr and b'Nobody Knows You When You're Down and OutBessie Smith1950's50's1959<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/274540b7f66ac9ff608357b2cf9d6937/tumblr_mjhtpcc88N1qcgwn4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://maximiliani.tumblr.com/post/47683958490http://maximiliani.tumblr.com/post/47683958490Thu, 11 Apr 2013 01:41:00 -0400Sylvia Sydney<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/a7596bfec1004d62d2f15db15799d013/tumblr_mkxfp5xGwZ1qmjzc1o1_400.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/6b17ff279f93b98c4454b8744bf9a01c/tumblr_mkxfp5xGwZ1qmjzc1o2_400.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/e01f905c408aed34f83336493a467c00/tumblr_mkxfp5xGwZ1qmjzc1o3_400.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/72d0be5d4c3131be82c8173a7515efde/tumblr_mkxfp5xGwZ1qmjzc1o4_400.gif"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://natureboygifs.tumblr.com/post/47444027142/emmy-rossum-ill-be-with-you-in-apple-blossom" target="_blank">natureboygifs</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Emmy Rossum - ‘I’ll Be With You In Apple Blossom Time’ [<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-VyEVJd4F4&list=PLSm8bls6sDmdf9pBO1Vxq61I8m_nfcMWf" target="_blank">x]</a></p> </blockquote>http://maximiliani.tumblr.com/post/47502895888http://maximiliani.tumblr.com/post/47502895888Mon, 08 Apr 2013 21:22:00 -0400Emmy Rossumladiesgif1920's<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/ce83d2a5682d299ab6f369691dae6796/tumblr_mklo2sc8TM1rxckino1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://zombienormal.tumblr.com/post/46910295239/dryads-j-r-witzel-jugend-magazine-1899-i" target="_blank">zombienormal</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><em>Dryads</em>, J.R.
