Blooming in June 2017
Comments (57)I am envious of all of these amazing sambacs. I've only killed mine. I think it's too cold st night here or something. Alas. Dar, I've had Chlidanthus fragrans for several years and still no flowers. I keep it in the greenhouse, which is warmer but less sunny than outside. Any hints for getting into bloom? Maybe I need to douse it with more fertilizer or give it more sun. My trachelospermum is doing well tho. We are selling this house, unfortunately, and I will truly miss this plant, among others. Lilium pricei First flowers for the year on the Plumeria. And my Antirhinum hispanicum which smells like honeysuckle....See MoreShow Us Your Gardens - June 2017
Comments (3)I guess, since this month is about half over, I may as well start filling up this duplicate and accidental thread that I was unable to delete. The box of salad greens on my front porch (safe from nibbling bunnies) have not only yielded tasty additions to our salads, but also some pretty blooms in various colors now that some of the plants have begun to bolt. This brings me to something I've been thinking about lately. Last year the mizuna and the dill in my vegetable garden went to seed late in the year, creating an interesting effect. Around that same time, there was a bit on our local news channel about planting certain herbs and vegies in the vegetable garden partially or entirely for show by allowing them to bolt after they have served their original purpose. Then this year I turned my gnome garden, previously the home to a mix of perennials and annual flowers, into all perennials. The shade in this garden has increased and also the ground is cris-crossed with roots from the growing quaking aspen behind it, making me loath to dig there lest I harm the tree. Here it is this year with newly planted salvia amongst the older salvia plants, wild daisies, and daylilies about to bloom. So the vegetable patch has now become home to my annual flowers in addition to a hill of summer squash, mizuna, and dill. I find that now in my mind there is no longer such a definite partition between flower gardens and vegetable gardens. The only other point of interest right now are my yellow iris surrounding my water garden, home to my goldfish. I think they may be invasive yellow flag irises, but hopefully they cannot escape to reach natural bodies of water. Several of them stowed away in a bunch of daylilies that a friend rescued from a construction site and gave to us. The foliage in front of the clump of iris on the right and behind one of the solar lights is jewelweed which the hummingbirds and other pollinators love....See MoreShow Us Your Gardens ... June 2017
Comments (38)Pretty pictures all! Granted June is almost over, but the Virginia Sweetspire has suddenly opened and I think deserves to be put into the June thread. Itea virginica 'Henry's Garnet' The bees are loving it. One last late peony: Peony 'Red Magic' and a few foxgloves scattered around: The native Carolina rose keeps appearing in unexpected places, and is appreciated by a hover fly. And another extremely common but still pretty daylily goes nicely with the foliage of a Hosta 'Blue Angel'. Hemerocallis 'Stella de Oro' Claire...See MoreAntique Rose Farm/Heritage Roses Northwest June 2017
Comments (18)Well, Cath, I'm not sure about a book... but I did at one point have a one act children's ballet sketched out in in my mind in which all these characters come to life and dance and interact with a child whose mother has just been going through the garden with her, telling her all about the old roses and their names and back stories. Mother goes back indoors, and the garden kind of melts away, morphing into a grand ballroom where the little girl meets everyone 'in the flesh'. Lots of opportunities for delicious costumes, nice little 'character' solos, mimes and pas de deux's etc ensue... until, of course, she ultimately finds herself back in the garden, curled up on the garden swing, having been asleep and dreaming... KS, I must apologise again for going so far OT - I think I probably should have started a separate thread to indulge my fantasies. But there again. who knows where such delicious photos of old roses will take us... :-)...See MoreAnton Gallovits (Cape Town 10a, SA)
