Maybe I can help. When someone needs a shrub, I must be there&#8230; :-) Arborvitae, Thuja occidentalis. E-V-I-L is spelled PHOTINIA.</p> gardengirl http://faerye.net/post/things-i-couldnt-tell-apart-as-a-child#comment-1222 2004-05-16T22:20:45+00:00 2004-05-16T22:20:45+00:00 <p>Hmmm&#8230;p&#8217;raps I will e-mail you and find out where exactly. Since Greystork knows me, he can vouch that I am not a crazy :p At some point I need to do Things to my yard. There are Things I do not like. Such as too many rhododendrons. And ARBRAVIDA (spelling? If I had my druthers, I&#8217;d spell it E-V-I-L.)</p> felicity http://faerye.net/post/things-i-couldnt-tell-apart-as-a-child#comment-1221 2004-05-16T18:54:11+00:00 2004-05-16T18:54:11+00:00 <p>No, the nursery is in Aloha/Beaverton&#8230;I am forbidden on pain of death to reveal the name on the internet, as my manager, The Big Cheese, is a tad paranoid, but it&#8217;s located out on Highway 10&#8230;.</p> gardengirl http://faerye.net/post/things-i-couldnt-tell-apart-as-a-child#comment-1218 2004-05-14T10:29:43+00:00 2004-05-14T10:29:43+00:00 <p>Yes, I was very gratified when I learned that&#8212;of course, when I was little, it was just that they looked alike and my grandma grew them :)<br /> <br /> Is the nursery at which you work in Portland proper?</p> felicity http://faerye.net/post/things-i-couldnt-tell-apart-as-a-child#comment-1217 2004-05-13T18:55:07+00:00 2004-05-13T18:55:07+00:00 <p>If it helps any, they are all rhodies. All azaleas are in the genus Rhododendron, they are a sub-series. So every azalea is a rhody but not every rhody is an azalea&#8230;Don&#8217;t even get me started on the Sweet William/Dianthus debate&#8230;</p> gardengirl
