Super excited to see buds on my #clematisurophylla ! It will provide some much needed winter cheer. 😊Having a bit of a weepy day. Our beloved #mannemantsotso was diagnosed with bone cancer this week. As a family, we have decided to take him out of his misery sooner rather than later. We think he might still have a week or two of relatively pain free life left, but as soon as I think about the inevitable, tears well up. I know, I should appreciate the now, but feeling awfully wobbly about it. Anyway,unpacking the celery after a trip to the grocery store revealed a cold, but very much alive #ladybug . Made me smile. We may have to take one life, but we just saved another. 💔❤️That darn #rubuslineatus has started suckering, and is now growing up through the #yew . It behaved beautifully until I cut it back after a rough winter. And my poor #poncirustrifoliata was planted when I thought for sure the #melianthusmajor had perished. Well, I guess it came back. Although accidental #cramscaping to the nth degree, there are moments when it actually fits together rather nicely! Not very practical, though. #suckeringshrubsThe somber state of these #leucanthemums sum up my state of emotion after last week’s violence rather well.I guess the flowers are alright too, but what I really like about #verbascum is the #seedheads . I just love them planted against a wall or another background that properly shows them off. Here, @joycreeknursery the saffron #fallcolor of #amsoniahubrichtii makes them stand out. Just love it! 💕The most fabulous fern on the@joycreeknursery premises. According to highly reliable sources, (unless I’m remembering incorrectly) it is a Dryopteris affinis of one mutation or another. Need to read up on how to propagate ferns. It has plenty of seemingly mature sori, and think I really need this one. 😍❤️😍 #fabferns #evergreenferns #dryopterisaffinis #ineedthis #severeplantlust #joycreeknursery

August Faves in the Garden
Okay, the clock just struck midnight, so technically I am now late in joining in Loree’s Fave of the Month meme, as it takes place on the last Friday of each month. Oh well, here goes:
October’s favorite
I’m throwing my variegated Fatsia japonica in with blogger pal Loree ‘s monthly meme of My Favorite Plant. It almost feels silly to designate it specifically as October’s fave. Truth is, I love it all the time. But because it’s about … Continue reading
Last Friday faves for fall – September
Late to Loree’s party, but hey – better late than never… Today was a rainy day (Hooray!) which I spent mostly inside, with my cat. I took a long nap in the afternoon, and it was wonderful! I’m ready for … Continue reading

This weeks fave – gnarly little Ulmus Parvifolia ‘Seiju’
I do adore it – my little Ulmus parvifolia ‘Seiju’. It is a dwarf type of Elm that looks like no other. Its branching structure looks like a fishbone, and its leaves are tiny – smaller than mouse ears – … Continue reading
Bloom Day – January 2015… for the most part, a study in red and pink.
Officially, it is still winter, but it really doesn’t feel like it. Things are moving faster out there due to unusually warm temperatures this side of Christmas, and I haven’t skied a single time due to lack of snow on … Continue reading

My green Amaryllis!
Those of you who have been with me for a while know that I have a thing for green flowers. When I first saw the bulb and the adjoining tag, I was intrigued but suspicious. The photo wasn’t great. The … Continue reading
