Mon jardin 2009
Sheriff Roland:
Let's revisit one of the two main patches of ground flox
that gash in the leaf (2/3 of the way up the picture) is prob'ly another minor bit of damage caused by the hail storm
Sheriff Roland:
And the other variety
injest:
it is like something out of a Disney movie or a fairy tale...you can't even see the ground for all the flowers..and they are all one level...like a carpet..
Sheriff Roland:
The violas, from the other side of the tree ...
Sheriff Roland:
Not much happening in the yard lately. It's been cold - for May. Made the tulips last longer but slowed down the blossoming of other plants.
There will soon be at least one other variety of iris out and the aliums are begining to blossom - but they're nowhere as large as they once were.
This evening's pic is a revisit, though the plant looks a lot more spread out than before. I was calling it a flox-like plant, but this weekend Bryan remembered the name of it - and I must say, I don't recall it flowering in a number of years.
It's called Silver dollar.
Hard to explain why the name at this point, but when the seed sack matures, I'll post them and the reason for the plant's name will likely become more evident.
also, you will note the cage ... I caged up the peonies a little earlier this year.
