Our summertime sandfleas here on the coast of NC could rival those lottle buggers though, I swear.Kynahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13222304237028745181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26348289.post-13968992303715821662010-06-03T21:15:23.628-07:002010-06-03T21:15:23.628-07:00How disappointing to lose so many beautiful perenn...How disappointing to lose so many beautiful perennials over the winter. Removing a number of winter-kill plants is not the most fun spring gardening job. <br /><br />The Saxifraga arendsii 'Purple Robe' have lovely flowers, especially displayed against the rock behind.Northern Shadehttp://northernshade.ca/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26348289.post-30982674562713651212010-06-03T18:46:46.734-07:002010-06-03T18:46:46.734-07:00That's awful that you lost all those lovely pl...That's awful that you lost all those lovely plants. And blackflies just add insult injury. (Or is that injury to insult?)

I am sorry you lost all those great plants and flowers! <br /><br />I like the daisies too and have lots of them, here and there on the property. I am considering making daily flower wine, if I have time to collect the petals.Sheryl at Providence Northhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07127223943390691667noreply@blogger.com
