The Fire is Out

Gentle Readers,

Those of you in the more Autumnal climes will recognize this lovely shrub:

The Burning Bush.

Not this one:

This one:

This is what my burning bush looks like every year.

Sad, but true.  Every year as Spring and Summer skip merrily on their way I always think that at least I'll have my burning bush to look at in the Fall. But it Never.Burns.
Each Fall I threaten to uproot the thing and pitch it as it is taking up valuable real estate space in my garden but then every Spring I relent and give it ONE.MORE.CHANCE.
So if any of my faithful readers has some advice on how to get my bush to burn I'll be forever grateful.

I'll leave you with a sweeter image.  These are my nasturtiums growing up my fading honeysuckle vine.

Thankfully somebodything is still burning brightly around here!
