always clean your cutting tools with rubbing alcahol between usages because you can spread disease on the tree or from tree to tree.

cut off the seed heads to insure more flowering for next year

have fun

@poosaypirate also- prune directly after flowering becuas the buds for next year set relatively soon after that, which means if you wait too long, you are potentially and probably unknowingl cutting off next years wonderful blossoms (!watch out!)

@poosaypirate do you know what those little blueish flowers are in front of her? I grew up with them and they smell like grapes if Im not mistaken....

@EyeWearMySunglasses  some sort of iris, a wild one it appears, you have to look it up yourself after that , may take some time on image searches but eventually you should hit it .
