Slug hors d'oeuvres

A banana slug in Sooke, BC, making short work of a potted dahlia. That was just the appetizer.

Truth in Advertising

In June, I posted a picture of a new David Austin rose, Sir John Betjamin. I saw the almost-real thing at Hampton Court this year and took this photo. I say almost-real because it was in the display and not in my own garden. But I can't wait to try it. Look at all the shades of crimson, pink, cerise, and cherry on those little curvy scallop petals.
