Chaste trees blooming again!

I read in Southern Living recently that if I clip the spent flowers off a Chaste tree it might encourage a second blooming. So, out I went and clip, clip the old faded blue spires were gone, into the compost pile.

Well, here we are, only a couple weeks later, and my dear Chaste trees are once again boasting beautiful blooms, nearly as many as the first showing. A treat to have such color at the end of July, when we're still in the heat of summer.

If you don't have a Chaste tree, get one! It'll make you happy.
