Then and there... I snipped off (with permission) several of the leathery (ouch prickly!) leaves and planted them around a wooden telephone pole, thick with smelly creosote residue, at the end of our driveway! Today, these delightful additions have completely encircled the pole, spread out almost three feet in every direction, and just love the spot! Our neighbor's delight in the annual show of color and then the deep red seed pods, walkers-by almost always stop (some mistakenly touch!) and we enjoy! Who'd-a-thought? (wink!)
