I think the pattern inside this tulip is incredibly beautiful - I am always awed by the complexity and intricate patterns in nature. They are usually much better than anything we can come up with ourselves.
Maybe we should trust more things to the expert...
Gardening Adventures from the North started in March 2008 as an attempt to track and share my gardening experiences in Northern BC. My garden is a zone 3b, although more and more I am seeing plants hardy to zones 4 or 5 overwinter here. I am interested in sustainable gardening practices, shade gardening, seed starting and plant propagation (of which I have had little success). Hopefully as this blog evolves it will include our interior and exterior home renovations, and my experiences canning and preserving my garden delicacies.
