I had no idea they came in other colours till I saw them yesterday at the beach.

I'm flabbergasted.

I'm thinking the same thing, Weezie.

"I'm spayed, declawed, and housebound - how's YOUR day going???"

Carly,
Never feel bad!!!
We all have to learn and there's a learning period everyone goes thru!!!
My quest *for a loooooooooong time now* is to learn the latin names of the flowers.....
**I have been at it for a loooooooooooooong time,
darn kids, husband, mother, neighbor's, gardening, etc., etc., keep slowing me down!!!*
I had a wee~one and a C~section and a long time nursin' and even longer winters' here..........
I just get any and alllllllllll the "free" magazine's/catalog's that come in the mail from the seed/live plants, etc... mail order catalog's.
And read, read, read, read, readdddddddddddddddd.
They have alot of GREAT info, great pictures, and if you get enough of them, the repetition of reading, eventually you start to really reconize flower's and their traits, growing habits and color's and new colors' and all their growing requirements....
Some have this point, some have that point,
and you start to remember this and that from the first cat/mag... and start remembering it right away the next time you see it in the next catalog.
And keep your enthusiasm for gardening and plants.
That will get you thru alot, of trials and errors.

Besides, I've been involved with plants my whole life...grew up in the country, lived in the woods, *well, I'm not a gnome or fairie* but I've gardened with my parents and that they were really into gardening and plants and nature!!!
So, I've had a wee~bit of time to know alot of garden stuff!!!

Weezie

Love your photo's and mystery pictures, they're lot's of fun!!!

Thanks Weezie and Lynne - I feel better. I enjoy showing my pictures (I love taking them and showing them off).

Guess you know I'm striving for photo journalism work. I have a few things published but nothing you would call 'big', ya' know?

The topic of plants is something that can keep me studying all year round - when the snow falls, I can work on my photo journals.

Today I was out for my exercise (biking and swimming) and I made a point of studying the QAL & the Yarrow.

I'm posting the five pics separately - I want to get it straight once and for all.

Next time Jeff and I are down on the trail, I want to be able to say - hey! That's Yarrow - that's Queen Anne's.

BTW - the guy that leads the Stewardship in High Park (Don) lives in our building - I'm always picking his brains about plants. He is all for cultivating the park with 'native' plants. I feel differently - if I like it, I think it should grow.

He said 'don't think about cultivating that lace, for heaven's sake'. Heh! Heh! I would spread it up and down the street if I had my way - I just love it.
