a forum for any general garden topic or question
Hi All,
Is anyone able to help with pictures---or undertake to photograph the following????
These will ultimately go into my book on native species of eastern Canada (from a sexual propagation perspective).
Obviously you will receive credit. Unfortunately I am not able to pay for the photographs.
Photos need to be high (print) quality.
I am looking for the species, not hybrids/forms.
The "body parts" required are noted.
Hoping that Roger Barlow is still active, I checked his web site last night and his plant list has been updated with a wide range of species. The last update was a year ago.
Which plants would give flowers or something interesting late in the season?
It seems my rock garden is over in June? This is zone 3.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Hello all;
Those of you who know John will want to know that he suffered a minor (any such thing?) heart attack earlier this week. John is recovering and should be home Monday. If you want to send him a message, his email address is [email protected]
regards,
Hugh

I have a Potentilla in my garden which I collected in B.C. when I was in my teens, and grew in my rock garden for a few years till I left home; when I moved back, there was no sign of the plant (or most others of course, with a couple decades of neglect--it was mostly weeds, grass and native plants grown in), but after I redug parts of the garden, it reappeared presumably from seed..
Hello All: You might find a new site - www.biodiversitygardening.com - of interest. Some nice photographs of wildflowers from this part of the world. Another person with a super camera. Fran

If I start this, will anyone else join in? I hope so!
I suppose one of the disadvantages of participating on forums from the relatively far north is that everyone else's specimens have already bloomed!) Oh well, one can but try... :)
I think I know what this is, but does anyone care to guess? I had a good-sized colony of this some time ago, that seeded around a bit. I'm not sure if these seedlings got out in this area along the sidewalk on their own (from fine dust-like seeds blowing around) or in the roots of some other plant I moved, but it looks like a flower is imminent on one of them.
If they are what I think they are, how to protect them from the assorted vandals, visigoths and rampaging huns that use the sidewalk daily? The land mines aren't working... ;D
About 5 years ago I bought this plant from a nursery in Vermont, Melittis melissophyllum, not having a clue as to what to expect with this unfamiliar item. It has flowered reliably each year, and I find it a delightful aromatic plant with showy over-sized white mint blooms. It is a member of the mint family or Lamiaceae. I haven't bothered to learn more about this plant until I googled it today. Apparently is is a widespread and highly variable European plant, found all the way to Turkey.
