| My camera was hooked up to my computer uploading during one of the many storms and the chip got wiped out when we lost power. Sure wish I could take some pics today, I just started rearranging a bunch of stuff. Did some gardening in northern MN last week for a relative and sure am glad to live in Iowa! I jumped up and down on a tiling spade like a pogo stick and couldn't get through the ground up there, and I have no idea how the plants put roots out when there's no dirt in their dirt. I have a whole new appreciation for Iowa gardening - all we have to do is put something in the ground and it will grow! |

O.K., I'll try this:this is our 300 lb. garden angel(hence the name), which sits underneath a cedar tree in the center of the garden. She looks down a long path between two perennial beds.The garden itself is an acre of woodland, fenced in to keep the deer at bay, and overlooking a 4 acre pond. I grow mostly shade perennials, but do have some slightly floppy sun perennials, like daylilies.

Cool, it works! Here's a picture of a clump of Cypripediun acaule. I got the original plant almost twenty years ago, from a friend who was a passionate gardener. He developed prostate cancer, and as it became terminal, he offered me my choice of a plant from his garden, and I chose this Cypripedium, which over the years has been moved through three gardens, and divided a number of times.

Moving Hernia
| | |
| If your going to take Hernia, bring some big friends; you'll be moving 300 lb. of top-heavy concrete up a muddy hill! She's named Hernia for a reason. Here's her friend, UBOUGHTWHAT, cause that's what my wife said when she found out what I'd bought. |

| hawki, your wife has a point! I'd hate to wander through your woods at night and see that! |

| OOohhh!!!! I love gargoyles!! Have many in my shade gardens! Not anything like this one though. Gonna try and get a new computer soon, maybe then I will learn to post pics! The flowers are certainly putting on a show right now. All this rain and now some sun finally. The weeds are just as big though. Too many skeeters out there!!!! MonaRae |

| hawki, your plant is actually Cypripedium parviflorum var pubescens (or called Cyp pubescens for short). It looks very happy :-) Best,

I haven't been here much lately, maybe because it does move somewhat slow.
If anyone thinks Iowa is boring, here are a few pictures that I took at the Iowa State Fair and Reiman Gardens at Iowa State U this past weekend.
I have garden pictures galore if anyone is interested. |
