After getting Rayna and L'Annie finished with their Canadian Championships, Kim Aston of Laureate, the co-owner of both Shelties surprised me with one of my very favorite things..... Plants and Flowers for my home and garden and a note of thanks for getting their championship.
For Rayna, I received this beautiful Orchid (Phalaenopsis). It bloomed a flower almost every 4 days... and stayed alive for months on end.... as I recall. Now I look at it with only its greenery... hoping that I will again, see the beautiful white flowers in the near future.
For L'Annie, Kim came over for a visit and hauled out this beautiful verigated Pussy Willow Tree! I had admired these during my road trip in Chateauguay! How'd she know!
I have it now planted in my front yard in the "circle" of my laneway. I can hardley wait to see it mature as it's only to grow 6 feet tall, yet the branches will form a type of umbrella!... I will be taking pics of this come next spring/summer.
Thanks again Kim for the beautiful plants.

Thank you Penny for all you did with the girls.
I received a beautiful orchid from Brenda Campbell when Tanner won the National in 2006...it is blooming for the third or fourth time. Even I can't kill it! So I like to give them as gifts, because I know if I can keep them going, anyone can!
I hope they flourish...
Cheers, Kim
I hope I don't disappoint you. I am known for killing plants. Water too much, don't water enough, not enough sun... SUN BURNED!!! So far it's still has the green base leaves. **keeping fingers crossed**
I am going to google the "how to take care of" so.... I hope your right about"if I can keep them going, anyone can"!
