Finally! Photo Galleries Updated!
by Leslie Cox; Tuesday, December 2, 2014
We finally “got around” to changing our Photo Gallery pages. We have been terribly remiss. Our apologies.
There are twenty-four new photos in the Garden Photos now (link here) and twenty-four new ones in John’s Photo Gallery (link here).
We hope to be much better at changing the photos around every month. Not promising…but we will definitely try harder.
Hope you enjoy these!

Description: An evergreen perennial with an upright, vase-like, slowly spreading habit. Narrow green leaves have creamy white midribs. Coppery-red tassel-like inflorescences appear in late summer. Colour changes to silver as seeds mature.
Special Notes: Native to Japan. Good winter interest. Can be used as a cut flower or in dried arrangements. Deer resistant. Leave foliage over winter to protect the crown. To tidy up, cut plant back to 8 – 12 inches (20 – 30 cm) in early spring to allow new growth to appear. Propagation by division in spring or autumn.

Under All Those Bubbles
by Leslie Cox; Saturday, November 22, 2014
Been sifting through some of my hundreds of digital photos. I am horrible at not sorting through them immediately upon downloading, and filing them away properly. To my credit, some do get done right away but the majority do not.
And they sure do add up. Unless I am frantically looking for a particular shot to accompany one of my articles, sifting through the photo files makes for a pleasant time of traipsing back down memory lane through the garden and various places we have visited.
That is…until one particular photo catches my eye and sets me off on an often complicated trail of research. Especially if it is a photo of a bug or insect.
