Thumbs up: Removing truly invasive, non-native plants (japanse honeysuckle for instance.) Thumbs up: Using plants that (once established) can get by (most years) on whatever rain falls. Thumbs up: Plants that provide food and shelter for birds--and realizing that snakes and hawks gotta eat too. (One of my neighbors asked me if I'd figured out a way to keep the resident hawk from eating the birds who came to my feeders (I've never seen this happen.) Same neighbor was horrified when she learned that Fred the Black Snake had gotten the second round of cardinal nestlings that were in my Rose bush. Nature at it's finest! Thumbs down: Rubber mulch (except in a playground situation)and synthetic pinestraw. Thumbs down: Neighbors who ask me to design THEIR gardens...just becasue mine "looks so good." I could be flattered, but-- 1) I garden by "feel"--my designs are the product of trial, error, plant obsession, plantwalking, and some great guidance from THIS group. 2) I actually TAKE CARE of my garden. Neighbors in question will not. 3) My garden is built around serious hardscape--it provides the structure for what I plunk in place. The yards in question have little-to-no hardscape. melanie

Never order anything from this company. I ordered a beautiful, expensive drum chandelier for a home renovation. It was done in advance as my contractor was not sure when it would be installed. When he went to install it we discovered that the drop was too long for the location we had in mind. We immediately contacted Canada Lighting to return it and at the same time ordered the same light in a smaller size. Canada Lighting came back refusing to accept the return as the 30 day return window was closed. They did not however have any difficulty in filling an order for the new light. So now I am left with a fixture that was out of the box for less than one hour and only handled by a licensed electrician. Never ever order from this company as they are Not a reputable company in my eyes!

June, I think I have the same plant but since I did not keep the label I don't know for sure. It sounds familiar the gold dust part of the name and mine is also a proven winners with lots of tiny yellow blooms. If it is I got it last year full with blooms and kept it in a pot, gets water every day and morning sun afternoon shade, it is starting to bloom again after trimmed it a little bit. It is the first pot on the bottom of the picture Silvia

I also got something called Thumbs Up from a guy out in Iowa, I think it was several years ago. Mine is small and I was thinking about putting it in a pot. When I get home I will take a picture and compare it with yours.
