Sorry to hear that; I've never had them again since that first winter in my new apartment.
I used to have a couple of vine maples at a previous location. They grew to about seven feet. I'm also thinking about a winterberry shrub. The...
What a great idea; especially since I have become vegetarian recently. Those red and yellow stems are gorgeous; I'll give this a try.
Sounds really nice; I started a hydrangea last year, and this year it flowered, also Japanese grass. I've thought about a maple, and some red...
That's what I was afraid of, Daniel. Nature doesn't want to be tamed. I guess I'll try to keep it damp and get the watercolours out; then see if I...
Can anyone out there help me ID some of the species on this beautiful branch? I picked it up at the edge of the parking lot at Burnaby Lake. Will...

Thanks, Eric. Maybe I'm assuming the wind did it, though this happened before the recent frost. Now that I've had it inside for about two weeks,...
I bought a specimen early fall for my apartment balcony garden. It did ok until it got really walloped in a wind storm. Almost all of it died, and...
