Oh man, I seriously covet those Japanese irises. I bet they're not hardy in my zone though...and they get to be quite big too, don't they? I don't have much space left in my garden.

Lovely, lovely photos Erythrone!

They are fully hardy in canadian zone 4 with a good snow cover. I think you are right: they should be difficult to grow in Alberta without protection.

They grow 45 to 90 cm tall. To my eyes they are not big plants.

Hydrangea serrata Blue Bird (in pot since it is easier to protect it in winter when it is grown in container)

Oooh! Can you please post pics of these too?? Maybe best in the spring/early summer?

 

[goldenrose]

YES it would be worth a seasonal pass!

I'm getting more envious by the moment!

I passed envious a long time ago! You've got an unbelievable collection!
It's nice that we can enjoy your efforts as maintenance is not what I'm envious of at this point in time!

 

[SlipperFan]

Heuchera's!!:clap:

I agree! I wish I could grow them better. They seem to get real leggy after a year or two, climbing out of the soil.

 

[Erythrone]

I will try.... if Irene doesn't destroy everything tomorrow... I have a lot of plants in pot. I wonder what to do. I cannot bring all of them indoor!
