Hi, This note is to let you know that I've finally updated the Edgewood Gardens web site (http://www.edgewoodgardens.net/ <http://www.edgewoodgardens.net/> ) - adding over 1000 new photos taken in 2010 and removing quite a few older ones. I apologize if you receive this more than once. The plant nomenclature is not cutting-edge - taxonomically I'm a slow-adopter and lumper. While modern taxonomic methodology may or may not be 'good' science I feel the distinction between classification and identification maybe be becoming blurred - and gardeners still need reliable and simple ways to tell their plants apart. That said, if you see any glaring errors please let me know. Plants can be seen at http://edgewoodgardens.net/Plants_album/… and general garden views and the family cats are at http://edgewoodgardens.net/Garden_album/…. You can choose to view just the updated images, or find them amongst all the others, arranged by family or season. A few of my favorite images include many Onco iris hybrids which are doing well in the open garden (http://tinyurl.com/4xxam3v/), pulsatillas which look great in flower or seed (http://tinyurl.com/3au4ckn/), baptisias are flowering better each year (http://tinyurl.com/3w5z255/), as are the spectacular intersectional paeonies (http://tinyurl.com/3us3mmq/). There are a lot of new woodland photos (http://tinyurl.com/44tjnsr/) including more trillium images (http://tinyurl.com/3l3s4hq/). I'm growing more Eremurus from seed and there are also some neat hybrids (http://tinyurl.com/4xj5f4n/); Galanthus "Potter's Prelude" is proving to be a beautiful and vigorous snowdrop which is always in flower a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving (http://tinyurl.com/4ypo6xa/). I'm now growing well over 150 different hardy cacti and succulents in my sand beds (http://tinyurl.com/3zzljqt/) and they will feature more in this year's photos, being in full flower over the next few weeks. Cyclamen rhodium in various forms is doing well, with beautiful leaf forms as well as much variation in flower color (http://tinyurl.com/3hd5ef3/), including the almost magenta ssp. vividum. The endangered Penstemon dissectus has amazing foliage and P. murrayanus continues to be a stunner (http://tinyurl.com/3m8n3ay/), attracting humming birds. The foliage of the dissected penstemon is matched by the highly cut thread-like mature foliage of Viola pedata forms from the mid-west (http://tinyurl.com/44ljmfh/). Iris speculatrix had its best flowering ever (http://tinyurl.com/3kzp43t/), Phlox amoena was gorgeous (http://tinyurl.com/3jpbe2s/) and Jeffersonia dubia was lovely in some nice deep colored forms (http://tinyurl.com/3gly4k5/). Toulouse also looks cute in the early morning sun (http://tinyurl.com/3vvox3a/) and the new sunny bed where the old weeping willow used to be is now making a real statement during the summer, especially with the echinaceas (http://tinyurl.com/3ddl2b7/). Please enjoy the images, feel free to drop me a note with any comments, and let me know the ID of any of the unidentified species. I'm actually ahead of the game a little for 2011 and hope to post some images from this year within the next month or so. Thanks and all the best, J.
