Dear All Bulb Enthusiasts, I am an amateur flower gardener, having started this wonderful leisure activity five years ago, sort of as a therapy against boredom. I find it truly relaxing to have my hands in the earth, comparable to going fishing or skiing. I live in Northwestern New Brunswick, Canada, just across from Madawaska, Maine, USA; but I have lived and worked several years in Africa and South America. We are officially in Canadian zone 3a and USA zone 4. However, I find that because of exposure some micro-sites have conditions equivalent to those of zone 2, and others of zone 5, based on the overwintering success of the various plants I have tried. Sincerely, J. Denys Bourque Saint-Jacques, NB CANADA
