"Hey Hiroshi Further to my last email, have taken a portrait. About this time last year my plants sprouted. Earlier this week my city was flooded (I think the city is usually the blurry mass in the background of my images). It's been a big week and an anxious wait. The river, which winds through the city and past my backyard swelled and broke its banks. Where I'm standing, earlier this week I'd of been standing under water (the paved path isn't usually covered with thick river mud etc). Am safe. In my area the river receded quickly and we've been able to start cleaning up. However, many areas are still affected.

I was always going to plant them, was just a little time poor is all. Considering the previous summer disappeared and this summer came on so quickly, I think I've done pretty well.

Have uploaded some preliminary images to blog http://valleygirlv.wordpress.com/. As of yet there's no sign of the Parasols. Recalled that cut suggestion and scrolled Tree Project for Kathy Thomas' advice. Will let you know how that goes, as well as further documentation. Otherwise, they're growing really well. A Happy new year!" ---LOUISE ROLLMAN Congrats!! Louise!
