One thing I have noticed is that the Red Berried Rowan likes the cold climate. That is why I saw so many Red Berries Rowan's in every nock and cranny in the Scottish hills. They where everywhere that you looked on the wilder areas. Explains it all. Great to see that there are so many different types and they are all lovely in their own way. Not one here to live for websites, though they serve their purpose, and are over-rated at times. Must rather have a robust debate about a subject anyday Kathy x

We have a small pocket of sumacs growing wild. I have not investigated them closely, but now I am curious. I think my aversion has simply been ignorance. My government natural resources agent has noted that we have poison sumac growing on the property, but I don't know where he found it.

Thank you for your link. That has given a few more ideas as what is what in the Rowan world. It makes sense now. Quote:
I do not think we get Sumac in the UK http://jaxmed.com/articles/Diseases/p_sumac.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumac Do you have to remove it as a nuisance plant? It is spread by seeds from berries by birds droppings? I do not know what purpose it serves as a wild plant. The link had given the basics to know about the plant itself. Hope that helps.  Kathy x

You know what its like when you get your dogs dinner ready and he almost bites your fingers off to get at it. This is what happened when I brought a 'Caryopteris' home. It wasn't a dog obviously but I nearly got attacked by the bees waiting to get at the flowers before I had even placed it on the ground. A fantastic plant for attracting bees

I have the Caryopteris, heavenly blue, which I bought from the garden centre after I saw how many bees it was attracting there. The only problem I have with it is that I have put it in a spot which doesn't get a great deal of direct sunlight and I don't think it is very happy there. Next year I will have to redesign the garden to find better spot for it.

Lavender is great for the bees and the butterflies, although we have seen a drop in the number of bees visiting our lavender in the past couple of years, rabbits also like to pay a visit, although they are more interested in eating the younger lavender!
