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...

Hi guys, I would like to post a request on the forums and I'm not sure where, or whether my request is appropriate. Here it is: I am a volunteer...

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,...
