I have had to go online for the unusual ones .. even with the many garden centers here they just don't carry these new gorgeous ones yet.<br />Ninebarks can be gorgeous ! I had Summer Wine for many years and it was a stunner in the Autumn with burgundy foliage .. now Center Glow is looking wonderful .. the one bad point is powdery mildew .. I lost 3 because I couldn't get rid of it once it got in .. so keep an eye out for that !<br /><br />Rose girl I really love this vine .. I thought I had tried it before but I think I got something similar but not the real deal .. now I am infatuated with it ! I know what you mean about yummy sounding names for these plants too .. but a multitude of colour has really gotten my attention now so I am looking for that since I am running out of room ! eeekkkk !<br /><br />Cassie girl .. I am going to join a post of my Chickadee kids with Shadow Shot time .. you would not believe how these little creatures have my heart .. one comes to the deck door early morning to chat at me !! I am so thrilled with them .. we might try feeding the sunflower seeds to keep them here for winter.<br />I have never seen a little bird behave like this in my life .. we are totally in love with them : )CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-12800353465908679092011-06-25T03:01:01.277-04:002011-06-25T03:01:01.277-04:00Loved these pics!

Licorice vine is one of my favorites for container plantings; it even looks good all dried out in the winter time. I have 'Sweet Tea', too, and love it. 'Redstone Falls' is a beauty, but for some reason I always pick out heucheras and tiarellas with yummy food names:)Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-10679004491997263892011-06-24T07:00:30.145-04:002011-06-24T07:00:30.145-04:00Joy,

We are finally getting a little shower, which we need desperately. It's been so hot.<br />The Sumac looks great. Your side garden looks so lush. The vine is going great.<br />My gardens look pitiful. This heat has done a # on all of them. Hopefully they will perk up when it cools off a bit, if they survive.Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05167298790872032154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-10454716273867137752011-06-23T17:40:53.589-04:002011-06-23T17:40:53.589-04:00Thank you Sandy girl but you know "upkeep&quo...Thank you Sandy girl but you know "upkeep" is one busy job in the garden and by gosh there is always a plant of 6 to switch /swap places with other plants .. so I have lots to do girl ! haha<br />I so want to get pictures of my Chickadee family .. they have literally thrilled us with taking p residence here : )<br /><br />Lisa girl thank you but don't we all have the same problem ? haha<br />A bit of that heat and humidity is drifting over us so hiding in the house is another activity I participate in ? hehehe<br /><br />Barry sweetie ..

Thank you so much ...Hello there Marguerite girl : )<br />Thank you so much ! It is done in the pollard style and you got what I was aiming for first off the bat .. a Canuck Palm Tree ? LOL<br />Enjoyed seeing your raised beds by the way and all those wonderful strawberries and veggies you will be having !<br /><br />Lona they are later bloomers and I find the red ones are later than the lime ones or maybe it is where I have them that makes a difference? Yup ! there are tricks to keep terra cotta from drying out too quickly and driving you NUTS watering them all the time .. phew! Have a great weekend too girl : )<br /><br />Darla girl I am totally addicted to our little birds and I swear the bug population has really taken a hit because they are here ..

Maybe it is a later blooming one. I really like your Strawberry jar plantings. It looks wonderful. I use plastic bags too in Terracotta to hold the moisture in longer.I used them in both of my Tipsy Pot stacks. Have a wonderful week!Lonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07060003333138052194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-20069151719642550462011-06-23T09:10:28.819-04:002011-06-23T09:10:28.819-04:00I just love the way you prune that sumac.
