I have taken my friends and house guests to visit there, too. The setting is perfect, with the trees and shrubs and statuary ... it's a treasure.<br /><br />Virginia is no more likely to preserve their cemeteries than any other locality. Most cemeteries here are completely devoid of plantings, too.

It is known to be in Richmond. Stephen Scaniello made reference to it at the Lynchburg seminar a couple of years ago. Very rare, and not in commerce. Malcolm Manners has propagated it from the Huntington collection. The cuttings were taken from the musk at the Burwell School in Hillsborough NC in 1980.Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06497874766764411664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489596100395140547.post-20480276123486099192010-01-01T10:33:03.681-05:002010-01-01T10:33:03.681-05:00It seems Virginia is more into preserving there ce...It seems Virginia is more into preserving there cemeteries than North Carolina. Everything has been mowed to the ground here, save a few private family country cemeteries. I find only remnants of a tea (usually Isabella Sprunt) here or there. It seems no one cares.Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06497874766764411664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489596100395140547.post-2504283257750837722010-01-01T10:19:49.292-05:002010-01-01T10:19:49.292-05:00For a time I lived within walking distance of Holl...For a time I lived within walking distance of Hollywood. It was one of my favorite places to stroll and to take out of town visitors. I am not sure what they thought of it, but they were polite enough to say they had a good time.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281256160705697856noreply@blogger.com
