Super excited to see buds on my #clematisurophylla ! It will provide some much needed winter cheer. 😊Having a bit of a weepy day. Our beloved #mannemantsotso was diagnosed with bone cancer this week. As a family, we have decided to take him out of his misery sooner rather than later. We think he might still have a week or two of relatively pain free life left, but as soon as I think about the inevitable, tears well up. I know, I should appreciate the now, but feeling awfully wobbly about it. Anyway,unpacking the celery after a trip to the grocery store revealed a cold, but very much alive #ladybug . Made me smile. We may have to take one life, but we just saved another. 💔❤️That darn #rubuslineatus has started suckering, and is now growing up through the #yew . It behaved beautifully until I cut it back after a rough winter. And my poor #poncirustrifoliata was planted when I thought for sure the #melianthusmajor had perished. Well, I guess it came back. Although accidental #cramscaping to the nth degree, there are moments when it actually fits together rather nicely! Not very practical, though. #suckeringshrubsThe somber state of these #leucanthemums sum up my state of emotion after last week’s violence rather well.I guess the flowers are alright too, but what I really like about #verbascum is the #seedheads . I just love them planted against a wall or another background that properly shows them off. Here, @joycreeknursery the saffron #fallcolor of #amsoniahubrichtii makes them stand out. Just love it! 💕The most fabulous fern on the@joycreeknursery premises. According to highly reliable sources, (unless I’m remembering incorrectly) it is a Dryopteris affinis of one mutation or another. Need to read up on how to propagate ferns. It has plenty of seemingly mature sori, and think I really need this one. 😍❤️😍 #fabferns #evergreenferns #dryopterisaffinis #ineedthis #severeplantlust #joycreeknursery

The punk rock bride
Those of you who have been with me for a while know I have a bit of a hang-up with the color pink. Not hot pink as much as baby pink, but still… it remains a difficult color for me, … Continue reading
