Last week I revisited the two gardens I toured earlier. Both David's garden in Beamsville and Eva's garden in Grimsby had more interesting plants to see.

Click on pictures for a better view.




Pterostyrax (Epaulette Tree) is an uncommon but hardy tree in our area.





A large flowered Magnolia in Eva's garden.













The 20 foot tall Magnolia virginiana was covered with sweetly fragrant blossoms.







David's Monkey Puzzle tree is putting on healthy new growth.

I believe this is a Cynara (Cardoon) but not like any I have ever seen.
