Zoe, this picture produced and a long "ohhhhh" from me. It's just beautiful. You should submit it to "Birds and Blooms". Sweet William is another favorite of mine. We are in zone 5 too and apparently had the same weather as you last Tuesday :)
Kerri, How nice to meet another zone 5'er! Haven't we had great weather so far in January? Thank you for the pic compliment. I like Sw. Wm., too. It is so easy to grow. I planted 2 packages of seeds 15 years ago and they just keep reseeding!
I am so glad you stopped by to visit my garden. I garden in lower northern Michigan (zone 5) in far less than ideal conditions. I have too many pine trees, too much shade, too many rocks, herds of hosta-munching deer and rabbits who think my lilly buds are gourmet appetizers. I am by no means an expert in horticulture or garden design--just an amateur with a shovel and a passion. My garden changes daily during the summer and I will be updating frequently.
During the winter months, I blog about my favorite cold-weather hobby--quilting and just my everyday musings.
I hope you enjoy your visit, and that you will come back soon.
