And actually they don't grow as high. They're a prettier color. They're still there and they're behind these cherring that are planted closer to the road; they bloom later. So what the cherries that we planted have done is just to enrich the area with trees and flowers. I hope eventually we'll get azaleas planted around the drive, at Haines Point, as well.
