LOL<br />I was going to mention in the post, how great Sun King Aralia is for a hit of colour in the shade (it used to be so expensive to buy but now not so much :-) ... Yup I have a lot of ant "friends" ? so far not in the house any more thankfully ! Yes I have gotten myself into trouble with trying to grow roses again but hey ... gardening is always a bit of an experiment right ? .. Gracie is quite the character but Willow is more the sensible sister ? hahaCanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-86517811513542662552022-06-28T16:41:21.003-04:002022-06-28T16:41:21.003-04:00I'm just loving those lilies against the lime ...I'm just loving those lilies against the lime green leaves, gorgeous! Goodness, those ants are having a field day for sure. Oh, beautiful roses and of course the delightful Gracie. The perfect name for her.

LOL<br /><br />Hello Kris thank you so much .. the girls are indeed our family jewels ;-) The terrible thing this year is that I planted two more called Arabian Knight and I can't remember where they went .. another garden DUH ? I had to kill at least one rodgersia to get this one to take , location means a lot .. I was fascinated with how the ants were mad for the flower , just like peony .. must be similar nectar ?<br /><br />Hello dear Nadezda ! you are so right about the flowers looking like "raspberry" colour. I think your grow zone is just a little behind my timing .. I hope to see pictures of yours !<br /><br />Martha you just popped in while I was answering comments .. yes the foliage is my thing, flowers are a bonus is to right ! haha On line companies .. I was so disappointed that Canning and Gardens Plus stopped their mail order .. actually I was just plain mad because we had no warning at all this was coming .. I did find a place in province called BambooPlants.ca and have ordered twice from them .. the plants are packed very well and they are of decent size for mail order .. they have a large variety .. so you may be able to find what you are interested in .. of course Spring is the best time but I just ordered some specialty miscanthus and they were great ! Flat fee within Ontario of $18, quite reasonable .. so a good size order makes it worth while ..let me know if you find what you are looking for ?CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-53577624544136599282022-06-26T07:43:49.685-04:002022-06-26T07:43:49.685-04:00Hi Joy!

And do you have any online sites you can recommend for plant and bulb purchases? It's difficult to find everything I want locally, so I thought I'd try ordering, as well. Any recommendations would be much appreciated. Happy Sunday to you!Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07470947568183528236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-69626619543512623692022-06-26T05:28:53.285-04:002022-06-26T05:28:53.285-04:00I love your yellow spirea with raspberry-like flow...I love your yellow spirea with raspberry-like flowers, Joy.

I've always admired Martagon lilies in the photos I've seen - they don't grow here and I've never seen one in real life.
