flemmings un-tagged me.

1. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
2. Tag seven people to do the same.
3. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag whoever wants to do it.

I don't know seven people who haven't been tagged! Besides, tagging people without first checking if they wanted to be tagged would be rude. So I guess it dies here.


1. I grind my teeth in my sleep.
2. Ever since I was a teen, I've been able to make my bed by pulling the covers up over my head before sliding out of bed. (Except when I thrash in my sleep.)
3. I used to not care for hydrangeas, but I lived in a desert climate. Now that I live in a wet climate, I see that hydrangeas are one of the most beautiful shrubs in the garden.
4. My favorite color is deep ruby red, known as pigeons blood, except that I like deep sapphire blue better.
5. I'm a horribly intolerant person, but letting on would be rude, so I hide it.
6. I'm a spider solitare junky. Freecell solitare got too easy and minesweeper takes too much thinking
7. I have owned a copy of Harry Potter vol. 7 since the day it came out, but I've only read chapter 1. I plan to read chapter two next week sometime ... maybe.

I will type the Chinese name tonight.
Does it snow in your city?
Because I used to have an impression that all hydrangeas are evergreens. After I searched several places in Toronto, I found that most hydrangeas here require a complete winter rest. For example, the famous "Endless Summer".
Probably because the one my grandmother had was too small, it just flowered once every spring, at most twice. It never made it into the burning summer of Guangzhou.
I think, the environment in Sichuan and Yunnan should be quite good.

The Japanese have some very nice breeds of hydrangeas. I have never seen the lacehead kind in Guangzhou.

It snows here once or twice a winter. So, yes, our hydrangeas get a full rest every winter. I've read about evergreen ones, apparently you must live in a sufficiently mild climate to grow them. Sometimes I think it would be nice to be where the winter is warm, but then I'd miss all my cold winter plants.
