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

Foliage Follow-Up Day – January 2018
The biggest news from my garden this month is that I – FINALLY – took the time to thin out my black bamboo. Wow – should’ve done that years ago… It looks so much better now… So, that is the … Continue reading

Foliage followup day – December 2017
It looks like our long stretch of sun and cold winds might have ended. Lucky me – I managed to get a decent, sun-drenched shot of one of my perennial infatuations. I apologize for constantly posting shots of Melianthus major, … Continue reading

Foliage Follow-Up Day – November 2017
Today was a much better day for outdoor photography than yesterday. Sure, it’s still wet, but it’s nowhere near the kind of deluges we had then. Not a whole lot to see out there right now. Parts of the yard … Continue reading

Blooms and foliage – August 2017
This has been a terrible summer for me, in terms of keeping up on blog memes – I have missed several months worth… Once (or was it twice?), I even missed my own, and had to play catch-up later in … Continue reading

Foliage Follow-up and belated Bloom Day – March 2017
Apparently, sometimes it is in ones favor to be fashionably late. Yesterday, on Bloom Day proper, it was so grey, wet, and miserable here, that I would have worried for my camera’s safety bringing it outside without an umbrella. This … Continue reading

Post-election Blooms, Pods and Foliage – November 2016
A garden is a good reminder that life goes on, outside of our human drama. And, it its a good place for demons to disperse, and some semblance of sanity to be restored. I spent some time putzing around out … Continue reading

Foliage Follow-Up – September 2016
A couple of days late, but figured I wanted to join in with Pam at Digging’s monthly meme anyway, celebrating the best and boldest of any garden – the foliage! Head over there for a treat you don’t often see, and … Continue reading
