As the weather continues to warm and the days lengthen, the garden continues to fill in.
I did some travelling this past week including a visit to a watercolor art show in a nearby town. So, I am including a beautiful photo of a winner from that show.
Hope you enjoy this week’s photos.
These profusion zinnias are in the men’s garden. They are a wonderful splash of yellow and are quickly matching their name.
This grouping of alyssum and snapdragons is also at the men’s garden. The alyssum is a spring planting and the snapdragons are a fall planting. The snapdragons will dwindle soon and a replacement will need to be found. As for now, they look good a long the brick walkway.
This old fountain has not been functional for a long time but it serves as a planter for these succulents. The Limelight hydrangeas surrounding it should soon be blooming.
The sweetspire “Little Henry Virginia” is showing off now with the racemes of white flowers. This shrub is new to the men’s garden but it is thriving in the dappled shade.
The rose campion is invasive but can be forgiven because it is so beautiful. It is easily removed if it becomes overly intrusive.
I mentioned the art show. Here is one of the winners. It is truly a stunner.
Enjoy your gardens this week. I hope to have some tomatoes to show by next Friday.
Remember the Propagator. He is the inspiration for this blog.
