Hi everybody. I'm here with few words and many photos of my garden in early June. If you have any questions, please leave your email so I can reply. Seat belts fastened? Okay, here we go....
 |
| The middle of my long, rectangular garden. |
 |
| I just redid this area. |
 |
| My south lawn replacement |
 |
| Allium schubertii |
 |
| I moved the Melianthus to this bed. It's coming along slowly but it's alive. |
 |
| Here's a little better view of it. |
 |
| Physocarpus 'Coppertina' |
 |
| I think this is a bit too clashy for my taste. |
 |
| Looking to the southwest-end of the garden. |
 |
| Looking back to the middle garden, we're now standing in the south end. |
 |
| The southeast part of the garden |
 |
| Thanks to the neighbor's trees, it's shady here. |
 |
| Heucheras! H. 'Paris' blooms red all summer. In front of it is 'Green Spice'. |
 |
I finally found the right place for Rue (Ruta graveolens). It was a pathetic thing just a few months ago
but now it looks better than it ever has. |
 |
Last week I spotted this little Primula on the clearance rack at Home Depot. $3
(Primula japonica, I think.) |
 |
| Sedum s. 'Cape Blanco' does well in shade. Who'd a thunk? |
 |
| The Sedums seem happy to mingle among the Dianthus so I let them. |
 |
| I'm hoping my Hesperaloe will bloom. It actually gets a lot of sun in this spot. |
 |
| The first Japanese Iris blossom (Iris ensenta 'Variegata) |
 |
| Parahebe perfoliata reaching toward the light |
 |
| Raspberries on the left |
 |
| Looking north |
 |
| Looking farther north |
 |
Nectaroscordum siculum is a hummingbird magnet, while behind it,
variegated comfrey (Symphytum x uplanicum 'Axmiinster Gold') is a bumblebee magnet. |
 |
| Verbascum before the rain |
 |
| The north lawn replacement |
 |
| The north end of the garden |
 |
| Geranium 'Orion' |
 |
| Lychnis chalcedonica 'Pinkie' |
 |
| 'William Baffin' is blooming! |
 |
| Geranium pratense 'Dark Reiter' and Sedum 'Ogon' |
 |
| The patio area |
 |
| Podophyllum 'Spotty Dotty' and Hakonechloa 'Albo Striata' |
 |
| Darmera peltata skirted with Hakonechloa 'Albo Striata' |
 |
| Sidalcea cusickii |
 |
| One of few Cannas that didn't succumb to winter's cruelty. |
 |
| Dryopteris erythrosora 'Brilliance' living up to its name |
 |
Phormium 'Sundowner' (I think) from HD this year.
I couldn't resist. I'm going to protect it this winter. |
Okay, that's enough for now. Thanks for stopping by.
