After 15 years my sweet little wolf girl is no longer with us, and I'd like to do a small memorial area with flowers containing her name. Anyone got any suggestions? I've found a daylily called Aurora Blues, and a dahlia called Aurora, but no one seems to have them. Same with roses. There appear to be some with that name, but not that I can find available.![]() Confidence is that feeling you have right before you do something really stupid. |

Fragrant Viburnum (Viburnum carlesii ‘Aurora. This plant I found on the web. I'm so sorry about you dog. I know what it is to lose one. |

Thank you! That one sounds interesting, and will survive in this zone! And yes, it's been a tough time the last few days. Confidence is that feeling you have right before you do something really stupid. |

I know there's an impatien called Aurora, but it wouldn't be long lived up there. Take care. |

Thanks. I appreciate the tip on the viburnum. After reading some of the descriptions, it sounds yummy. ![]() Confidence is that feeling you have right before you do something really stupid. |

Try typing just aurora into our database and you will be amazed at the plants I have a white bleeding heart (the fringed type) named Aurora there is a small hosta called Aurora And a flowering dogwood all fit tribute to a lovely animal I know the sadness of loss from one animal lover to another The pain of loss fades but the memory of love does not.

Oh, I tried that, and you're right, there are lots listed. I'm just having difficulty finding any that are available to buy! The bleeding heart would be nice, I do like bleeding heart and I may be able to actually find that one. ![]() ![]() Thank you for the kind words. We tried to give her the best life we could. She's the main reason my garden is where it is. We built it surrounding her kennel so I could be with her (and to keep the stupid goats away from her!)

((((woofie)))) At the entrence to my Memory Garden I have a plaque of the Rainbow Bridge poem. Can't remember just when I got it, but it still looks great...never can get all the way through reading it without tears ![]() ![]() Each cloud has a silver lineing if only you look for it. |

Well, so far, so good! Got my daylily "Aurora Blues" today, along with the Dicentra formosa "Aurora." Both look to be viable plants....small, but viable (if I don't screw things up! ![]() Getting her kennel safe to walk around in, though, is going to be a major project! She was a world class digger, and the weeds have grown up to hide the holes. Eeek! Going to have to be careful. Confidence is that feeling you have right before you do something really stupid. |

Well, shoot, Woof. I just now saw this. I've known Aurora as long as I've known you and this just breaks my heart. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Mine too. It's hard to go out to take care of the garden; I keep expecting to see her. It's been fortunate that we've had a LOT of rain since losing her, so I've been able to skate by without doing too much. That's all over starting today, tho. 88 deg for the forecast!

Boy howdy can I ever relate to the holes. Cut the dog run the other day...gotta really pay attention. Dixie and her BIG ball have done a number on it. Some are large enough to get lost in...tractor and all ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Each cloud has a silver lineing if only you look for it. |
