Heather, unfortunatly, the old "guest house" (an old shack...) is full of pots, snow fences, bamboo stakes, water hoses, snow tires, watercans... it is also the house of many mouses!

Garden much?
After strolling through your photos, I'm on the floor!
Nice work of art.
Was this, or is this a roof garden? I have seen something like this before, and the husband makes the wife climb up there to pick edibles.
Thank you.
Please send me wood ducks. Thanks.

Wood ducks should be with you now, Clark. They are gone!

Ha, I was thinking to myself as I was scrolling down through the photos, "Heather will swoon at those shooting stars... "
Erythrone, I love the foliage on the Cornus alternifolia Golden Shadow. Does that stay fairly small?

My shrub is young, so it is fairly small (5 ft tall. Not a lot of branches, since bambi love to eat it every fall). I guess than it will be almost as large as the species (C. alternifolia). That shrub can be a 10 ft tall small tree.
I agree with you. The foliage of Golden Shadow is truly amazing.

I can't believe I missed this thread until now. It makes me want to do spring all over again!
I used to garden in this manner. I have stopped, and it's all gone now. I only have the orchids indoors. I'll have to come visit you to feed my need. :wink: I could make a little side trip to le Jardin botanique de Montréal while I'm up your way. It's been many years since I've visited there.

How do you remember the names of everything? Do you tag your plants. This thread is like a stroll through a botanical garden - it's wonderful!

Superb photos!!! Such a colourful place!
Thanks everybody!!
I remember the name of many plants. Most of species are "easy". The 2 Adiantums of that post are amongs them. But many hybrids have tags. The problem is that I hate the look of tags, so I often put it where I cannot see it easily. It is not always easy to find the name of an untagged plant. For example I lost the identity of some rhododendrons I started from cutting. I must take pictures and compare with others.
I also have a database of all the plants I grow (Exel). That is helpful. I found the name of Molospermum peloponnesiacum yesterday. I didn't remember the name of that plant at all but but I was very easy to see that it was an Apiaceae (Carrot family).
I have many bearded iris too... Unfortunatly I lost the identity of almost all the plants. Anyway a lot of them were not true to name when I bought them. I lost the parentage of most of the British Delphinium I started from seeds. But peonies, helleborus, Japanese irises, Rhodies and Azaleas are OK.... But the "tag maintenance" is a time consuming job.
