Posted on May 18, 2021May 18, 2021Garden after rain this morning This rose came with the yard. A lot of branches died back in the February cold spell and then I pruned the dead branches off in April. Echinacea slowly unfurling! Purple lady bok choy. I love the green and purple veins!
Posted on May 13, 2021May 13, 2021Showy evening primroses They look very showy in the morning here too! 😂 They also make a good background for the coreopsis. The big green mound of leaves in the back is the Maximilian sunflower. A Gaillardia flower is peeking up at the base of the photo and to the right of the sunflower plant are some blue bachelor’s buttons (also known as cornflower).
Posted on May 9, 2021May 9, 2021New flowers planted and blooming (botany club plant sale part of 2 of 2 included) White avens is a native shade plant with cute strawberry-like flowers. It just started blooming. These volunteered. The flowers tend to arch elegantly downwards. They have big showy leaves too. Which I didn’t photograph. 😂 I got a dwarf pomegranate at the botany club plant sale. I decided to put it near the tiny apricot tree. A very baby palm tree from Judy!
