The local plant sales are beginning. It looks like all kinds of plant events are on the horizon. Today, my friend Rebecca and I stopped by the Native Plant Sale in St. Johns. I purchased a native bleeding heart (
Dicentra formosa), a red columbine (
Aquilegia Formosa) and Twinflower (
Linnaea borealis) . Despite predictions of rain, it was a beautiful, sunny day with blue skies.
On the home front, Pan has risen! I have been concentrating on the little garden off the deck and it is coming along nicely...
 |
| Rhododendron 'Blue Baron' - I could not resist that color! |
 |
| New rose foliage always looks great - but can it stay that way? |
 |
| Spanish Bluebells (Hyacinthoides hispanica), one of my favorite bulbs. These were already here in the garden. |
 |
On the bargain bin at Home Depot -
Mountain Bluet (Centaurea montana) |
 |
| Wild Ginger (Asarum caudatum) |
 |
| Expanding the foundation border on the front of the house. I am going to add a pathway soon leading from the gate to the front door. |
