| Just thought I'd post a few photos of what things are like here. Lots and lots of green still since the sun hasn't really made an appearance in some time, but there are still some colors. :O)
Let's start with the Digitalis...
Clematis Claire De Lune's flower...
Clematis Josephine...
Clematis Blue Boy?
Wendy's Lupines still going strong. Also, if you look to the left of it and other spots, you'll see annual poppy plants that are unbelievably lush and big. This was a mistake. A trade of Digitalis seeds was actually poppies and I decided to transplant 'al la HOS'. What a welcome addition. Can't wait for them to bloom.
More of those lush poppy plants...
Part of the shade garden...
More of the shade garden with winter sown hostas. Photo is not becoming since the leaves are large and thick - parent Francis Willams.
White Lavender, winter sown, about to bloom.To the right are Donn's Rudbeckias (don't remember the original name so that's what I call them :O)
Finishing off with another Digitalis with winter sown ground hugging perennial geraniums at it's feet. Behind it are stand of Phlox Paniculatas which will bloom later in the season.

| Those look wonderful! Would love to see the poppies when they bloom, and think your success with the hostas is terrific. I like that mini variegated one, looks mini anyway. Josephine is gorgeous. Claire de Lune is lovely as well, have been eyeing that one but think I'll pass because there is no true blue clem. Close. What you call Blue Boy looks like Multi Blue to me. Deceptive photos have made it look true blue. Will look forward to more pics. You've got the neatest place there! |

| Lupins and delphs! I am swooning. |
RE: Nova Scotia June 30th gardens.

| I feel like a 'grandma' seeing those lupines! Your red lychnis, Tiff, (short type) has the neighbours coming over and saying..."What is that? It's beautiful!" Wonder if those poppies might be peonies(?) Keep us posted! |

Wonderful, beautiful property!
What a great view :) |

Nananinana....:-D
Folks, eat your heart out. I may get to see this fabulous garden in person next week. :-D |

| It looks soooo cool and moist there. Can i come visit? I love the stone and the way you plant among it. The plants are gorgeous too. |

| Sure can, Drippy!! Sure can!! Aliska, You are probable right on the Multi Blue. You are the third person to ID it as such. Perhaps the tags were switched at birth? Bakemom, No. No Delphs in the gardens. They are slug bait like crazy here. They do grow in our area, but you need to be away from a bog (located in the woods behind the house) to do it. Those are - guess what - more LUPINES!!! Grown for you of course! Wendy, I noticed that the Lupines are pointing towards Ontario. I think they are telling the other Lupines where they come from. Glad you like the Lynchnis! Dirtbert, I'll take some good property views when we get a nice sunny day. Thanks! Piti,
You can't come this close and not pay a visit. We'll take a photo and show everyone what our hair looks like in the fog. LOL!! Token, You are most certainly welcome! One day I may find myself in the Carolinas and you, Drippy, Carrie and all others will be on my list of 'have to drop in'. |

| Oh so pretty! I bet that when the poppies bloom you have "peony" types there, as the foliage looks just like some I have growing with big peony flowers. I want to come to Nova Scotia to see your gardens too! My mom is taking my almost 20 year old daughter on a cruise from NY to Nova Scotia in August and I'd love to hide in her suitcase! Nancy |

| Nova Scotia is the only place left on my "must visit" list. Over the years I have crossed off all of the others and I have seen a lot of Canada, but still would love to visit Nova Scotia. Your garcens are lovely as always. |

| Pretty! Pretty! Pretty! Love everything but that Claire De Lune bloom is magnificent. Pat |

| Gorgeous display! The Ruds are Rudbeckia hirta 'Burpeei' Double Gold Gloriosa Daisy, but I like your name better. |

It's all so green and lush! Your Clematis are amazing. Claire De Lune is incredible, but Josephine is even more so.
Thank you for sharing the pictures, great way to start the day. |
RE: Nova Scotia June 30th gardens.
| | |
| Wow, that Claire de Lune is stunning. I've never seen such a huge clematis bloom! What is that red-leafed plant in front of the foxglove in that first pic? I love all the rocks in your shade garden too. |
