At 8:48pm on August 21, 2010, Sue Herr said…: Nora, the plant you questioned looks to me like a four-o-clocks. If it has very dark large round seeds, and blossoms late afternoon to early evening that would be it. I love them they usually come in many colors and varigated are popping up now also.

At 9:02pm on April 28, 2010, Ken Pettis said…: Thank you for your kind words, Nora! I did build the bridge myself out of cedar. It's held up extremely well for 5 years. I found the plans on line. If I can find the site , I'll post the link. I'm helping a newbie design a small pond and I'm using yours as inspiration!. Thanks!

At 10:11am on April 26, 2010, Kathy Tutor said…: Thanks for the compliment Nora...... I'm really enjoying all your photos - just beautiful. I love the potting shed!

At 9:26am on February 17, 2010, Contributing GardenerDiane Meyers zone 6/7 Or. said…: Hi Nora, Thanks for the nice comment. I have almost 2 acres and since I am retired I can be out in the yard everyday. I have been busy cleaning up all the mess left by a few winter storms and raking out the beds since I use leaves as a winter mulch. Things are beginning to bloom which inspires me to be outside. Have a great day.

At 10:01pm on February 14, 2010, Tess M said…: Hi Nora and thanks for your kind comment on my backyard! Your flowers are absolutely gorgeous!! I have a problem with voles and every time I plant a perennial they eat it right up. I've tried several things - even planting things in hardware cloth. It's so frustrating!!! I think you are probably looking for to spring as much as I am. Thanks again!

"I have viewed several of your yard and pond pictures and am amazed at the variety of plants. What a beautiful back yard!! Is there a place here for bulb exchange? The Cappuccinno lily is my favorite, it's just gorgeous!!"

"Lisa, an inexpensive, though labour intensive, solution would be to create a natural bog filter next to your pond. When we built our pond 4 years ago we also dug out a bog area. The pond water is pumped through the bog which is filled with pea…"
