    Funny way to go about it!

    How easy it would have been for you to make some excuse not to go. Takes two but it's often the way nice things happen - off the cuff, I mean.

    Weigela varigated shrub (Florida)

    And you can usually prune the taller stems to a (much) lower bud without spoiling the shape at any time of year. Might lose a few flowers at the top next year, but hell, they have enough anyway.

    Bleeding Hearts query

    It is the natural character of the bleeding heart to die down after flowering in the spring, so I think this is nothing to worry about. They will reappear next spring. M-L
