Nature Notes

My gardens May 25

My gardens are alive and well. I do love this time of year.

Largest square: blue columbine (Aquilegia), a plant that spreads itself by seed in my gardens.

Moving clockwise:  Soloman's seal (Polygonatum) is an elegan plant that grows well in the shade; pasque flower (Pulsatilla) seed heads that grow well on a sunny bank; lilac (Syringia vulgaris) that's blooming profusely in a dry corner of our yard; bridal wreath spirea that also survives in a dry area; and 'Purple Sensation (Allium) an ornamental onion that flourishes, even amongst weeds. (Which reminds me, I sure do hope I find some time to pull a few weeds this week!)

    Really like the blue of the columbine. It must stand out in the garden.

    It wasn't too long ago we were bemoaning the fact that it was cold and wet and we were never going to see Spring arrive---but now look at all the beautiful flowers and colors. Anticipation!! MB

    It's not quite June yet, but your garden is "bustin' out all over".
