They are quite hardy and come in a variety of colors, although the "hot" pink is my favourite. The hydrangeas in the previous post are lovely, and grow well in Vancouver, but up here in the mountainous region of central BC, they don't like the cold winters. With climate change, that soon may not be the case! I just spent a week up at Birken Forest Monastery at 4000 ft. altitude working on the gardens. Alpine wildflowers abound, but a few domestic types are flourishing, iris do well. Marmots are quite common, and friendly. What types of wildlife have you encountered on your rambles? Keep walking and clicking, great photos!Jennifer Ojanoreply@blogger.com
