Don’t know about you, but on a day this hot, my outlines are starting to blur, too. Ugh - be kind to yourselves out there. #keephydrated💦 #hangingintheshade @drinkalotoffluids #clematisviticellaprincecharles#clematisroyalvelours clambering up my #styraxjaponica . I’m thinking, since it’s there, and since it’s kind of a pain-in-the-ass tree, I might as well put it to good use. #livingtrellis #myjungle #mygardenHad a wonderful time with dear buddy @williammcclenathan powering through seven open gardens on the Garden Conservancy Open Garden Tour, today. Did some much needed catching up while enjoying some beautiful settings. Our day started out with the best Bloody Mary I think I’ve ever had at another dear friend’s house - thank you, Lori and Juno! Hope you are all enjoying your weekend too! 💚Ventured out to theeast side for Korean food, and drove past the now defunct D7D nursery. I got a laugh out of their farewell message... What do they mean by THAT??? 😂🤣😂#notsure #crypticmessages #wwttA sundrenched expanse of shrubs and blooming sedum that makes me happy every time I see it as well as its owner! @marianazorr #frontgarden #lowmaintenancegarden #lowwatergarden #opticvervedesignThese tightly curled flowers always make me think of those 18th century powdered wigs - except better color. I believe this is some variety of #clematiscrispa - maybe a seedling . @joycreeknursery #joycreeknursery

Little white flowers everywhere!
When we bought our house, we found a number of Viburnums growing along the fence in the backyard, toward our neighbor on the west side. I’m not sure exactly what kind, but I’m guessing V. oculus. They are still there. Their arching … Continue reading

Random springiness on the First Day of Spring
So, it’s the First Day of Spring, they say. To me, it seems half way over – I haven’t written a single post about the garden marvels I’ve come across this year. Oh well, better late than never. Here are a few – in no particular order… … Continue reading

An April flashback
April was horrendously busy, so I never got to show off the lovelies that were sprouting up here and there in the usual monthly memes. After positively balmy March weather, with the arrival of April, we regressed to more normal … Continue reading

March is the new April
Things are moving along at madcap speeds out there. If I miss a couple of days, I can always count on something having changed when I finally get out there. This time, there were Tulips among other treasures. And more blooming Clematis. … Continue reading
