You're amazing, Carol! I posted this, and inside of 30 minutes you have already posted a comment. I suspect you have some kind of link to your cell phone that notifies you of new posts - just guessing :) Anyway, I really appreciate the comment. Thanks. Hank
'Wilgenroosje' (Epilobium angustifolium is one of favourite natives over here in Belgium. Often disliked, because of it's creeping roots, and hence considered a weed, but I really love it.
I know it's supposed to be wordless and all... but I would like to know the name of the central flower, please. The one with the purple, reflexed blooms. It's so adorable and dainty, I am afraid it is going to have to go into my wish book for when I finally have a permanent garden. :)
@ Meredith, just the post is intended to be wordless - well almost - but the comments can be as wordy as you like, especially when you say nice things as you did here.
All the flowers are from my Yukon Wildflower photo collection, and the names of each are visible by a mouse rollover of the image. Also if you click on any one of them, an enlarged image of it appears.
The centre one is a Frigid Shooting Star. Although you're not likely to find them in your local nursery outlet, seeds are available from a number of sources, including www.easywildflowers.com
I come to you via Christina's simple things. I love how many of us are roaming the blogroads stopping to say hello here and there. So, hello to you. Happy almost-Friday.
Just a beautiful collection ... what lovely wildflowers you have there. Love to see photos like these and find out what the natives look like ... I sometimes get tired of seeing the same old flower photos!
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often. Lucy http://dataentryjob-s.com
Our backyard garden is on a city lot in Whitehorse, Yukon. Growing zone maps indicate we are anywhere from zone 0 to zone 2, but we have many zone 3 and zone 4 perennials that are doing quite nicely. This blog is both a photo album and a journal of our garden and our experiences.
About Me
Hank Moorlag
Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada
Retirement has allowed me to pursue, with added vigour, my interest in gardening. I grew up in Southern Ontario where I learned much about gardening from my dad who was in the landscaping and gardening business.
My wife, Susan, shares my enthusiasm for gardening and what you see in this blog is a combined effort. We collaborate on garden design, choice of annuals each year, and we share the maintenance work.
Gardening in the 'north' is a challenge, but northern gardeners have some advantages over our southern neighbours.

These wildflowers are fantastic, and you put them together in a striking collage. You are educating me on the beauty of the Yukon!
