The Tenth Season (2007)
|
Late June and the rose campion (left) and annual poppies are blooming
brightly. In the back is the rose garden with the new
Easy Elegance landscape
roses 'Little Mischief' and 'Sunrise Sunset' blooming in front.

I repainted my rocking chairs (top) to match the purple of the Verbena
bonariensis (foreground). Also growing in the cutting garden are
zinnias and orange Mexican sunflower (Tithonia). The Tithonia was
a big favorite of the hummingbirds and I will definitely be planting it again
next year.

Early morning sun streaming through the trees onto the new bog garden.

my canvas artwork with another view of this scene.)

Another view of the bog garden on the left. Some of the moisture-loving
plants that live happily there are ligularias,
astilbes,
aruncus, yellow waxbells (Kirengeshoma palmate)
and great blue lobelia (Lobelia siphilitica).

The Johnny jump-ups have escaped from the kitchen garden and are running
amuck in the pea-rock pathway. I don't have the heart to pull them out
when they are blooming so nicely.

The Annabelle hydrangeas make a nice background in the partial shade part of my
perennial bed. Blooming around the hydrangeas are
aruncus (bottom right),
anthemis (left, yellow) and red clematis growing on the obelisk on the left.
