Happy New Year! (2020) Let’s start the alphabet!
Comments (44)I’m loving these pictures! What a lovely idea to go through our gardens alphabetically. And I’m getting so many wonderful ideas from all of you. Arenaria was a new one to me. Now it’s on my wish list for sure! I’m a sucker for tiny white flowers. sandyslopes, that sky blue winky is beautiful! Astilbe, NOID. Always gives me a good show, though. Another NOID. Very tall and grand. This clump was chopped to bits last fall for a trade so it’s not quite up to par in the pic. Aquilega pink Barlow. My first foray into the Barlow style. The flowers nod in the most shy, enchanting way. I also loved the leaves. They are glaucous and very attractive all year, in contrast to the plain green, rather weedy looking foliage of the McKana’s Giant type. Aquilega, random self seeded bicolor. My husband loves these, with their showy spurs. He doesn’t usually take too much notice of plants, so when he mentions one, and looks forward to it every year, I take notice! Lol. Allium karataviense breaking ground. The leaves are prettier than the flowers! Here the alliums are later, in bloom. Not the showiest, but the foliage makes up for it. Allium christophii. Such a showstopper! Those enormous heads covered in stars. My little boys love them....See More2020 letter.....M’s
Comments (17)GardenHo, good to see you back! I hope you're feeling better every day. At least you got it over with before gardening season. Last year I got knocked down for two weeks with a bad cold.... in MAY! I was so mad at the timing. So many pretty grasses. I can't bring myself to plant any because I battle so many grassy weeds, but I like seeing how pretty those big clumps can look, especially when they flower. peren.all, I'm so taken with that photo of your Monarda 'Cambridge Scarlet'. The lighting with the boulder, the trees, and all the pretty flowering plants. Beautiful! Myosotis sylvatica (Forget-me-Not) Muscari latifolia Muscari 'Valerie Finnis' - really is powder blue Monarda 'Jacob Cline' Hummers love these! Monarda 'Grape Gumball' Monarda 'Pink Lace' ....with a hummingbird moth Monarda 'Raspberry Ice'...See More2020 the letters U & V
Comments (17)Peren, valerian does seed a bit in my yard and it can get large so I’m moving it to the other side of the fence. It takes up too much space in my sunny areas, which are pretty much filled. The other side of the fence is roughly 150 ft, about 10 ft deep on the roadside that we have to maintain. Since I don’t use weed killer that is a lot of hand weeding I don’t have time for. I’ve slowly been adding plants over there to eat up some ground. Valerian is perfect cause it’s so carefree. I also have a couple fruit trees, roses, peonies, junipers, clematis and hardy geranium over there. Getting rid of healthy plants has always been hard for me and it’s kind of nice to have a place to put things that ended up not pleasing me as much as I thought, especially since we have to take care of it anyway....See MoreHosta A 2020 ...........
Comments (55)Dear Paula, I'm so late this year but I will not miss to tell you that I'm glad your are still cancer free! I already checked a few of your jokes and they get better every year :-) It has not been a good gardening year over here, the weather was crazy and frost was really late and rain in June/July, so I was not able to take the pictures I would have wanted. But soon it's time for new ones. The sun is shining for two weeks now and I hope I can detect a few signs of life soon....See Moresunnyborders
