This month's iris is my favorite color of the Dutch Irises. Denise -- Like you say, Carla is content any time there is sun in the garden. TownMouse -- I have yet to get a bleeding heart with grayish foliage, but I'm pretty sure I would buy it if saw one. They've come back surprisingly well for us. I should do a puppies with poppies post. Gayle -- So far she's mostly affected plants that I'm not as concerned about like the snow in summer. We moved a few of the more cherished plants to the outer garden when she came. James -- The dicentras are definitely a favorite. I now have pretty good amounts of several shade natives, lilies, oxalis, and dicentra. The dicentra is the most variable and probably the most interesting to me these days.

Carla looks pleased with her selection of soft plants to rest on. As long as she stays away from the dicentras you should have a workable understanding. I like the poppy selections too. You can't go wrong with the Matilijas, but the last detail of the breadbox really sings. Cool dicentra selection–looks like the nucleus for a really interesting obsession.

I have been repeatedly informed that gardens look better with dogs in them, but I too have found that dogs often prefer to pose while sitting right on top of the prettiest plants. Then when the dog leaves, the prettiest plants are often left flattened into the shape of a dog and are not quite so photogenic as before. Carla is a very cute dog!
