So much cheerful colour for this time of year. Something we can all do with, I’m sure. Here’s some of ours…
The cherry-plum that grew from the rootstock of a grafted golden plum that died off. It is one of the very first blooming trees around.
Yes a clematis armandii (evergreen). It’s a profilic grower, I’m always having to hack it back so it’s probably not reaching it’s flowering potential!
@lorna.doucette I’ve never had success with artichokes, they just seem to wither and die after producing a miserably small flower. How do yours do?
Interesting that yours die. We planted two last year in our hottest most protected area (where the rosemary was ) South facing against some rocks. Both produced two decent tasty heads (is that what they’re called?) and then about 4 smaller ones not worth eating. Beware…earwigs hide in between the petals! Hoping for a better crop this year now that they’re established. They are fun to watch regardless. I DO love perennial veggies!
Giving thanks many times a day for the beautiful tulips I purchased from the Hort Soc last autumn - Giving me so much pleasure! Thank you!
That dogwood is gorgeous!!
Gorgeous Camellia, Connie, and the rest of your garden too!
Beautiful blooms. So uplifting for you especially this spring
Already had the broken large pot, then the other day I received a Mother’s Day gift and it was in 100 pieces. So what to do with a broken pot… get creative! Planted with miniature hosta, miniature blue-eyed grasses, alpine snowbell, and a maple and 2 junipers which I will bonsai as they grow.
What a great idea! That’s going to look fabulous once it grows in.
Its beautiful–gardeners are a resourceful bunch!
