The Shipping News

Do you expect to see ships when you visit gardens?  Particularly ships with sails made out of the leaves of the plant 'Lamb's Ears'?  Here's one of the sculptures in a country garden in Canfield that is on the Hamilton Spectator's Open Garden Week.

What Colour is Your House?

If you owned a Painted Lady, what colour would you paint it?  There's a newly renovated and added to house in Grimsby Beach, and we saw the owners on Saturday as we toured the gardens in the Blooms for Africa Garden Tour.  We asked the owner: "What colours are you going to paint the house?".  He is a young man and replied that some of the houses in the area were a bit bright and he was going to stay with something more subdued.  So, we'll see what happens on the house colours.

What would you choose for your painted lady? What theme would your fence and free work have?
