Bamie~ The large bush looks similar to a Weigella.I'll look it up and see, unless somebody else knows what it is.

Bamie~I think the purle flower plant is called Spiderwort or Tradescantia. You can propagate it from cuttings, divisions or seeds. Is the white one in the Toad Lilly or Wild Ginger family??

Weigella, Spiderwort or Tradescantia and DamnedIfIKnow or a PLF (pretty litle flower)! It looks like a lily of some sort. I'll snoop around later.

Here's a pic that I took today. You can see my Wiegela blooming at the bottom of the pic. Just below it (in the center) is my Musa Basjo banana tree starting to leaf out.
I added some of my garden pics into my Webshot albums. I haven't taken any new shot this year, so some of you have already seen these. Just wanted to share. Pics can be seen at:

LOL! I can see that water aerobics class! Seriously, Sil, your gardens look like they belong at Butchart or Huntington. They are gorgeous!!! I'm starting to think you are independently wealthy and not telling us. If so, do you employ hunky gardeners?
I just read about a flower that blooms under the leaves and likes shade. I'll have to look it up at home Bamie and see what I can find...

Thanks, Laurie!! Gosh, I wish I was wealthy and/or had a Hunky Gardener to look at, but the gardener is ME My DH and I have done all the work ourselves (except the pool). He builds and I plant/mow/weed....

I only work outside the home on weekends, so that leaves me 5 days off a week. Also, I don't have any children at home (other than the furry ones ).

Okay, my weed. This thing sprouted in our shared garden bed last summer, and went rampant! It has leaves like parsley that sprout in a radius from a central stock. It makes little yellow flowers that are shaped like strawberry blossoms, but without the central cone. They seem to propogate with runners, but I'm not certain of that. I'll see if I can find a picture. Does this ring any bells?

I hope you can get a picture of it. I'll check my weed book. In the meantime, please keep it on your side of the St Lawrence! We have our own weed bandits over here!

I think I figured it out! Creeping Cinquefoil. Little bugger! I spent at least an hour just digging out two foot square patches of it.
While I was looking through the websites for weed identification, I found lots of others I recognised. Guess there are several on this side of the St. Lawrence, too...
My problem is that the garden was inherited when we bought the house and there are lots of lovely little surprises everywhere...when things come up, I'm often unsure as to whether they are weeds or plants, and when I finally figure it out, they've taken over!
Speaking of weeds, does anyone have a surfire way to get rid of bindweed? I wage a terrible war against it every year. It's trying to kill my lilac bush and my hosta garden. Darn stuff!

Funny, I was just going to come in and tell you it was cinquefoil! Bindweed? The only way is to pull it out. Sorry!
