I want to wish everyone in Canada (especially those in the Vancouver area where my ancestors are from) a Happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy the flowers and eat plenty for me.
Canada celebrates Thanksgiving the second Monday of October every year. Canadians take this time to offer thanks for a bountiful harvest. Since their harvest comes much early than most United States harvests, October is the perfect month for their celebration.
Ask the Expert: what is this plant? Hello. This orange plant has come up in my perennial garden. I don’t know what it is. I get plants from friends and stopped at a “free perennials, you dig” site one day this summer, and I’m not sure who gave me tis plant. The foliage looks like an iris but the flower looks like a columbine. It has just started flowering this past week. I live in NH. Thanks.
I have a vining house plant that I have had for at least 7 1/2 years. This spring it just so happened to bloom with this rubber like light colored pink bouquets with a deep red center. The flowers put off a beautiful scent of between a lilac and peony. I have attached a couple of pictures if you could take a look. Thanks for you help.
