I better think about preserving the wood with some colourless stain or something ! LOL<br /><br />Kathleen girl .. I have never had a plant produce ONE bloom and then nothing .. it is either all or nothing for me usually .. so I don't know what is going on with the Maypop .. but I have never had this one before so what is normal I'm not sure ? Believe me .. if there is a picture of a bloom , I will let you know straight away !<br />I haven't seen Sparkler offered at the garden centers for a couple of years now .. I guess with all the new cultivars , perhaps they can't be bothered ? DRATS !! if you were closer and on the right side of the border I would try a split for you ? Aren't I a TEASE ??

Your garden is producing many beautiful blooms even tho I don't see what I'm looking for! That pink sparkler echinacea is pretty ~ I don't have it. lol on copyrighting "playing with plantings!" That's a good one alright. Even tho I am a Halloween lover too, I want Autumn to take it's time arriving.Kathleenhttp://kaseyskorner.typepad.com/kaseys_korner/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-16940456526911037882009-08-28T12:42:41.089-04:002009-08-28T12:42:41.089-04:00Love the lobster trap turned garden ornament. :) I...Love the lobster trap turned garden ornament. :) I'll have to go take a peek at my Toadlillies to see if I have blooms yet.

I so wish !! You have to get a picture with him !! PLEASE !! .. now if "Eric" was there .. I would be beside myself .. you are so damn LUCKY girl !!!!<br /><br />Hi Grace .. morph is one I like too : ) words that set a picture in your mind's eye are great fun : )<br />Certainly girl ! I will make a special shoot of it .. after Tina said there are so few wooden ones now .. it is my baby from a tiny place I spent some childhood years that were very important to me : )<br /><br />Gail girl .. "Queen for a day " am I ? LOL .. What type of Toad Lily is it ? and how old is it ?<br />I am curious too .. perhaps it dried out a few times too many ? heaven knows it can happen here but it is in a "morning sun" light afternoon shade area, I find that is usually the best.<br />I might just have a "hunt for Halloween" day today ? now that will cheer me UP ! : )CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-28541936231802757302009-08-27T21:27:35.474-04:002009-08-27T21:27:35.474-04:00Your garden always look good!
