They were transplanted into a wet area in our backyard. The soil was supplemented with a 50% mixture of peat moss. We purchased them from a native plants of Nova Scotia nursery about five years ago. I can't recall which one, possibly the Dube Water Gardens at River John or el Summit Perennials Nursery at Mount Uniacke. I've attached both links. http://www.dubebotanicalgardens.ns.ca/bogframe.htm http://plants.chebucto.biz/ Hans ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim Wolford To: NatureNS Sent: Friday, June 01, 2007 6:49 PM Subject: FW: [NatureNS] Blue Moon, Marsh Marigold and Canada Warbler According to my Old Farmer's Almanac Every Day Calendar, 2007, we have to wait until Dec. 31, 2009, for the next Blue Moon. Hans, were your Marsh Marigolds a wild and native colony? Cheers from Jim in Wolfville ---------- From: Hans Toom <Htoom@hfx.eastlink.ca> Reply-To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Date: Fri, 01 Jun 2007 15:23:28 -0300 To: "Naturens@Chebucto.Ns.Ca" <naturens@chebucto.ns.ca> Subject: [NatureNS] Blue Moon, Marsh Marigold and Canada Warbler The old expression "once in a blue moon" refers to a supposedly seldom occurrence, such as last night's blue moon which happens ever two and a half years, or so. By deduction then "once in a blue moon" would then refer to an event that occurs about every thirty-ish full moon. This moon event refers to any month where a full moon occurs twice. This often happens in May. I've posted two photos of this from last night. The Marsh Marigold in our bog garden is now in full and glorious bloom, one photo attached. The last photo in this group of four is another edit of last Sunday's Canada Warbler.
