Mary Ann, I hate that you've lost what are obviously beloved plants. I hope your Aura Light makes it. It's a beautiful one.
Henhouse, I had to look back at the pictures to see the trillium. I had no idea he had any :P (I didn't know what trillium was until recently!) I think Salt Spring Island receives more rain than we do in Victoria, but their summers are as dry. Do you have very wet winters? He grows a few Japanese Irises as well and I recently learned what water-lovers they are. A couple of hybridizers grow them directly in water.
Much of my soil has extreme drainage so I was scared to even consider them for my garden.
I'm sorry I'm so slow updating. Thank you all - I'm glad everyone is enjoying the photos. After this set of pictures, I will have finished posting the pictures from the first visit.
