Wow....thanks for the very warm welcome.:)) I think I'm going to really like it here.

Like Ginny I live in a small community in Ontarios west coast near the shores of Lake Huron. I garden on an average size town lot where I try to make a more country atmosphere. The jays fight with the squirrels for the peanuts we throw out and the racoons compete with a blue heron for lunch at our pond.

I'm addicted to gardening, and last fall removed all my front lawn (not that big to begin with) to make more room for flowers. My neighbours think I'm crazy and I don't have a lot of friends......I think because all I want to talk about is gardening.;)I have so many favourites it's hard to list them all, but will say Lilies, foxgloves, Lupines, brugs are at the top of the list. I've just recently gotten the dahlia bug......~sigh lol!

sanannie thanks for the compliment on my name. Its so hard coming up with one.
Everyone can call me Pat though.

Oh....just today I was searching my cardinal vine for seeds. There is also a morning glory growing on the same trellis so I was peeking through the leaves for seeds when I seen the most beautiful white bud!! I didn't even think the seedling I planted last spring survived so you can imagine my extreme surprise. I tripped running up my back steps because I was so excited to tell someone I had a moonflower!!! My very first moonflower! I hope this pic is clear enough as the sun was shining brightly. Anyone else have luck growing these?

Thank-you Ginny for directing me here.
