Took some pix the last days, and thought I'd share some of my beauties.
Into the 20s tonight, this will be history )o; I am always sad to see them go.
This will most likely be all black tomorrow. Always a sad time for me )o;

Since growing cannas and so much a part of my life, I am never quite so happy as when they are like this.
They have a hold in my life. I am always in awe of their strength and magnificence.
Awesome to spend my days in their beauty .. I can't wait to get out early each morning to see.

I am the only 'farmer' on the ridge to grow flowers. The cannas stand magnificent amongst the fields of farm crops, hay, and cattle. First the other farmers laughed at me, Now they come over to see (o: ..ha
But no crop there has quite the beauty of these. lol

I had the whole family out last night digging the brug seedling trees. We brought in 80 in bud I have not seen bloom yet. A shame to bring this far and let die.
It took alot of figuring to get them into the glasshouse )o: But at least now, I will get to see them bloom.
I will be enjoying this winter, for sure.
Simply awesome to see blooming brugs thru the glass when cold and snow all around.

I hope eveyone else is getting their plants in ok.
