Hi Nora-I just met Sherrie Bohan this morning and she gave me your name.I feel like an old timer. I have been on GI since April of last year. Looks like you are findingyour way around. Sherrie told me about your photos-just beautiful.

I have 3 groups "iris, my new love","Sage Gardening Tips" &"Handicap Gardening"

This is one of my favorite irises. It is "Breakers"

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.

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!

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.

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!

Cappuccino lilies

"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…"
