The rain this last week has worked its magic in the garden.
Everything looks fresh and green and the flower colors are vibrant. The greenhouse has lost its drapery of cross vine. Underneath the covering of vine, which had shaded the greenhouse all through the winter, the shade cloth had disintigrated. It will have to be replaced next year because it gets too hot in there without shade. I dare say the cross vine will be back!
Purple cone flowers, Echinopsis purpurea, is in full bloom. The unnamed day lilies are almost lost in their midst. I may have to move them to a more prominent place next year.
I think this one is my favorite. It deserves a more prominent location.
I have begun a big clean up in the potager. We can once more walk down the pathways.
Thanks for sharing the spring lushness with us - the 2nd photo really shows growth on the yuccas! But I agree with you on the last photos and the agave / pups...perfect.
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to seeing what is growing in your lovely yard. Looks like the weather this year is being very kind to your garden.
ReplyDeleteSome plants have benefited and some have not. I think this happens every year despite what happens with the weather. It is always a surprise and that's what keeps me out there.
DeleteThat Echinopsis is absolutely stunning! And the garden looks oh so gorgeous. If it has not already, it really ought to be featured in magazines... :)
ReplyDeleteA stunning few hours with that bloom but as I said more to come. It is easy to miss them if you are out for the day. Thanks for your kind words. We were in Southern Living last April and also many of the shots in Gardener's Supply were filmed here. Both were fun.
DeleteYour garden spaces are so inspiring. I am always grateful you take the time to share the loveliness with us so regularly. It is a rare visit to your blog I don't come away with an idea (or three) to try out in my own spaces. Thanks, Ms. Jen!
ReplyDeleteYou say the nicest things. I am glad that you find ideas here. Isn't that true with garden visits, blogs, books and Pinterest. I can't get enough of those lovely garden photographs. They really thrill me and inspire me to add and subtract from my own garden.
DeleteOoh, if you are on pinterest, I would love a link to your boards, if you are willing to share!
DeleteYour garden looks so fresh and happy with the recent rains...love the Echinacea...and that Monarda is stunning!
ReplyDeleteIs there a way to look at your list of blogs you follow by 'most recent updated' versus alphabetical order?
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate your frequent blogs, also.
Everything indeed looks fresh and clear.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely!
ReplyDeleteOh, for some rain! And isn't that one of the best things there is, to discover new blooms in the morning? Everything looks fantastic, Jenny.
