Digitalis and late blooming rhododendrons

Pretty as a picture, you say our climates are very similar this could easily have been taken in the UK and likewise pictures I show would probably not look out of place in your home.

I agree Brian it looks a lot like yours !

Bjs, That is why I like GOY . I can see what you gardeners in UK growing successfully and most likely will survive here. It is more informative for me than seeking info from rest of Canada or US.
Love this site . Lovely plants I have not seen before and kind and friendly people (most anyway).

That is a big compliment Amy. Bjs's garden is exceptional. And he does have some plants as me and we are 4,500 miles apart.

By the way, this house was built by "Brit" in early 70's

Amy the main difference is kiahanie looks tidier than mine

Beautiful Klahanie

Not everywhere Bjs.... but I am trying.

Thank you Thrupenny for your nice comment.
