Surprises ...Your garden could never be dull, Lisa!<br /><br />Surprises from my garden include a bumper crop of peppers (during a cold wet summer) and an abundance of ticks (the likes of which I've never seen before). Perhaps they rode in the rabbits. Have not had rabbits to contend with ...ever!<br />They are logging on top of the mountain, and have disrupted all sorts of stuff.cyndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18006126625281714507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-41747332343821876802009-11-09T07:16:04.785-05:002009-11-09T07:16:04.785-05:00I think if one looks attentive, it can often be di...I think if one looks attentive, it can often be discovered that gardens are full of surprises, as nature likes to "play". I like your autumnal garden and especially the very first picture.

The corydalis is a sweet thing, we have had total failure with every one we have tried here, too dry I believe. We love the persicarias too, they are blooming machines and seem to like the cooler temps. I want to touch fuzzy wuzzy! Slightly more demure than MMD feeling him up!

They were a pass along plant.<br /><br />Garden Joy, I don't know what kind of Cordyalis this is. I looked for information about it before I posted. It is several years old so if the canary feathers is a new variety I think not.
