Tempted to Complain

Yet again, we have a rainy day, and I am tempted to complain. However, after watching CBC news this morning and seeing what the folks in southern Manitoba are dealing with, we have nothing, really, to complain about. So we'll carry on, sneak out to the garden, between the showers, and enjoy the green leaves that are emerging with all the rain. It's helping the perennials come through the soil, so we can see what made it through the cold winter and what spaces need to be filled. Speaking of perennials, we've chosen a unique plant for this week's feature. Convallaria, commonly known as Lily of the Valley, but what's unique about this one is that it has a delicate blush pink flower instead of the common white flower. You can learn more about this flower at the link I've posted. And when it's raining, you can always come to the greenhouse and dream up ideas and get the plants you want to put in when the sun comes out.
