I guess I'm on a summer roll, lol This is the southside corner of my lower garden.
More summer
:D
LOL, I think I'm feeling colour deprived right about now.
Yep, definitely colour deprived. Ok, I'll stop!
It is wonderful to see these plants!! :)
No, Liz: Don't stop. Looking out here at the wetlands and wondering why I bother thinking there will be something wonderful growing later on; I need the inspiration! Beautiful, and to think just around the corner.
Thank You. Dawn
Beautiful Liz. What is the tree on the right in the last picture. I love it.
The low one? It's a weeping Japanese maple.
Wow, it is a beaut. Thanks.
Liz,
Seeing your photo makes me want to really spend the money this year and buy a Weeping Japanese maple. For the last few years I have wanted one..but am too afraid to take the risk as they are quite expensive, and not very hardy.
I do have an upright Bloodgood Japanese Maple I bought 3 years ago. I cover it with burlap in the winter. So far so good.
Your lower garden photo is just lovely..I notice you are beside water..lucky you.
Cheers,
Carol
Hi Starzz, I just found this link for the red maples. Maybe you can find one that you like and is hardy for you.

Thanks Liz..I'll take a look.
Goodness Liz, aren't they gorgeous. Almost makes you want to dig up everthing and grow only Acer. Of course, you need a few sheckles--but my motto has always been "Spend it and it shall come". Good Luck Starzz and let us know.
I like your way of thinking Sunrize.
Do you have a new grandbaby yet?
Hmm...I was thinking of acers in zone 3 (funny girl, must be the paint fumes) and then it started to snow. (This just after we put a bunch of transplants in the sunroom/greenhouse.) I can hear the little gas furnace justing a running through looonies and toonies and.....
My sister has a laceleaf Japanese maple that has survived for over 10years..but it is in a very sheltered postion beside a little pond built into a sloping hill.
It's beautiful Starzz. I love the rich colour.
It is beautiful, Starzz! Yes, I have a lovely new grandaughter on Mar 24 @ 2:12 AM. 7lb 8oz, Black curly hair. She is so far nameless--so a bit hard to announce. She has been known as 'Pip' since her conception, so that's what we call her until they can agree on a name.
Congratulations Sunrize!! How exciting! We need a pic of Pip
No name yet, grandmama!
Congratulations Sunrize.......we are looking forward to seeing her! :D
Congrats; they are great - a joy for the heart.
Oh how wonderful for you Sunrise.
Congrats to all the family!
Cheers,
Dawn, don't you have some news for us lot??????????????
Yes, Elaine, finally I do. Her name is:
Isla Frances
(say eye-lah) means little island Celtic
Frances is after my mother
and she does what every baby does, cries, ingests, eliminates, and sleeps. Isn't that a miracle! I have yet to see a pic, though.
A lovely name..very pretty...
A very pretty unique name.....please post some pics when you get them Grandma!
