Mingling rather nicely in my hellstrip - #parahebeperfoliata and #helichrysumangustifolium #silverfoliageplants #bluefoliageplants #droughttolerant #hellstripgardening #hellstrip #lowmaintenanceplants #lowmaintenancegarden #killercomboEach flower of #rosaetoiledehollande never blooms for long, but drops its delicious dark red petals on the #shadytapestry below, so I don’t mind. This fragrant marvel will bloom continuously from spring to first hard frost, and then sign off with an abundance of large orange hips that later turn scarlet. This is a very worthy, climbing garden rose you don’t see in gardens nearly enough. It came with the house, and I’m grateful. #rose #redroses #climbingrose #fragrance #perfumeThe project in Mt Angel is very close to done. Can’t believe how fast the grass in the gravel lawn pathways is growing in. It was only seeded two weeks ago, along the method of the good folks @joycreeknursery . So far, so good. Can’t wait to see it fill in... #benedictinesistersofmtangel #monastery #spiritualwalks #peacepole #seatingarea #landscapedesign #opticvervedesign#crinodendronhookerianum in bloom with tiny little #saxifraga blooms fanning around its feet in adoration. Love this shrub! #mygarden #myurbanjungleSo, I have this shelf which I call my hoarder shelf, where I keep a number of my unplanteds. Right now, the sun was streaming through this #sanguinaria leaf in such a beautiful way, it made me do a doubletake. Immortalized for posterity - I hopefully won’t see it like this again. This baby is going in the ground very soon. 😊🌱Hanging lights in the backyard. I like the different perspective from atop the ladder. For one thing, a relative closeupcomparison of this and last years flowers on the palm. #trachycarpusfortunei #myurbanjungle
