(Coast)Silk Tassel Bushes or Garrya elliptica are a very unusual plant to come across. The first time I saw one I was thrilled, I had never paid attention to the rather boring ungainly shrub located at the top of the long perennial border at Playfair Park in Saanich. It was early in the year and [...]

My ‘Common’ and ‘Latin’ name is often said to be the same. I have a shining disposition. I can be a male or female, and most likely I will be male when you find me I am a delicate thing that persists long after my blooming season is over. I’m a west coast kind of [...]

I am a Glowing Golden Globe peaking out across Southern Europe and all of Asia. I often am found in the forest, but not always. I have a green ruffle around each of my flowers. I am dainty yet stocky all at the same time. Buttercup is one of my more famous cousins. Now can [...]

I am a member of the Victoria Horticultural Society and as a member have the opportunity to go to events they sponsor. The presentation that was put on in November was by Dr. John Grimshaw, the Garden Adviser to the Colesbourne Park gardens in Glouchestershire in Great Britain. Colesbourne Park was the ancestral home of [...]

When I went to Horticulture school in Vancouver we started in September. The largest and most challenging part of the curriculum was learning the 300 new plants. Learning to identify plants in the winter with no leaves, flowers or fruit was for the most part a new experience for all of us. After learning 20 [...]

One place I like to on a regular basis is Government House in Victoria. Yes it really is related to the Government, as the Lieutenant Governor of B.C. lives there. The nice thing for gardeners and plant fanatics is that it has extensively planted beds that hold a vast collection of plants. I nipped into [...]
