| Shrub Rose- Rosa Rugosa stands on the Northeast side of the house. It has a very intense old rose fragrance and perfumes the whole yard on a breezy day. "Blaze, a climbing rose pairs very well with a clematis as they ramble up the copper arbor Glenn made last year. The arbor stands on the South side of the house, (back yard). I like to combine clematis with other vines as well. Shown below is Honeysuckle & clematis which is planted on the natural cedar arbor in the herb garden. This is the first year that the clematis has really made a showing creating a beautiful scene. |
   |
| Spiderwort- sounds awful but is a very pretty plant. We have three planted around the pond area. Our ducks |
| enjoy a drink after foraging in the garden from their water bowl, a cow dairy water bowl, placed outside the cottage garden. More Ducks |
