It is the between time for my garden. The prolific (although it has taken 30 years) wood hyathins are the back drop for color right now.It is rhodie season. What get colors we get living in the maritime pacific
I've had the purple min bearded iris for decades. I have them along the paths and in the patio. A couple of years ago I treated myself to a few more colors of the minis. Because of the heavy rains this spring the a few of the new varieties have gotten rot. am taking care of the problem but ballistic and boo, Canadian kisses and yellow is thrice blessed
Question on the allium. Mine always get yellow tipped leaves that look very unattractive. This also happens to my agapanthus…..thoughts? Suggestions? I'm thinking they need extra nitrogen? Would fish fertilizer help?
I almost had my hand on yet another lithodora yesterday, then reminded myself how many I've killed... Julia, do you keep yours in pretty sharp drainage? I'm thinking that might be my problem, and now that I have that rock outcropping area MAYBE I can try it again.
I want to live in a world where the chicken can cross the road without its motives being questioned.
Deb yes, all my lithadora are planted a top a rock wall. Soil is just on top of all the drainage for the wall. It did take a beating this year and will look nothing like last year but I see it coming back from the soil line.
Lilacs opened just in time to get doused by the rain today! All these came from my mom's yard in Seattle. The light purple is most fragrant. I fear my peonies will just be beaten into the mud before they even open - drat.

Beautiful. Would love to be wandering along the grass with a cup of coffee looking at the new blooms and inhaling the clean air. Just wool gathering.... Thanks for the visual
I think I love shady moist gardens best. Nah... love them all. But there is something so soothing about a cool green garden bed with touches of color like iris.
