Today\'s photos
#1,2. Look who opened up this morning. Japanese Tree Peony. If anyone saw my series of \"blue Monday \" late snowfall pics a while back there was one with a blue styrofoam box in the background. That was this guy in his winter home since I\'m really pushing the zones with this one
#3. I tried to get a shot of this one last night but couldn\'t get the colours right. There is something about this location that doesn\'t photograph well. Last year it looked awesome but I never got one good picture of it. Today is pretty decent. This cauldron was my grandmothers cast iron maple syrup pot that she brought with her when the family moved up here from southern Ontario as a young girl. I never knew that part of its history until 2014 when my parents were selling the farm. In my youth we used it to heat water to boiling over a fire that usually had used tires in it, for the purpose of scalding the hair off pigs when we butchered them. I obtained both it and the forge at the same time and cleaned them up and painted them with a Tremclad hammered metal finish spray just before last years planting season. This year it is home to the blood orange Sunsatia that is flowering now, either a red or yellow Sunsatia and two yellow tagetes type marigolds, not flowering yet and the orange canna that the name is currently not slipping off the end of this senior tongue of mine.
Just came back to me. Canna Pretoria
