Larkspurs
I was paging through a field guide the other day and some dried leaves fell out. They were larkspur leaves, from species I came across last spring in California. Like so many wildflower species, there seems to be many, many more kinds of larkspur west of the Rockies than in the east. Actually, only three come to mind; two of them are spring bloomers.

The Thrill of Columbine
Unlike its pumped up, steroid-engorged, centerfold-beautiful cultivated cousins, Wild Columbine is a delicate fay flower of exquisite beauty, preferring the quiet woodland life in cliffs and rocky outcroppings to large colonies or barren roadsides. Coming upon them in the woods is as magical a surprise as finding the fairies these lovely blossoms suggest

In late winter and early spring when we all need a lift, my mind immediately conjures up those stalwarts of the early spring flower brigade, the Hellebores. Reliable, colourful and just what the spirit needs at this time of year.

Hellebores - Part 1
For years, I had one hellebore; then I grew another from seed. I liked them, but it was not a passion. Recently, however, I've gotten well and truly hooked on hellebores. These are marvelous plants for shady gardens. I've got a lot of images, so please be patient while they load for you.

Vines - Part 3 - Clematis
Vines are amazing plants. With their ability to either climb vertically or spread horizontally, they enable us to create many-layered interest in our gardens. If you've avoided using vines because you think they can get out of hand and become weedy pests, think again. While this is true of some, it's also true of many garden-worthy plants that none of us would be without. With some exceptions, weediness is not a characteristic of Clematis, the Queen of the twining vines.
