Delphiniums Down. Maybe next year I'll try some kind of beautiful arbor to help secure the heavy blooms.
I was never a big fan of a yellow and gold garden until I discovered the Fanfare Gallardia and from there, my gold garden has "bloomed".
Black and Blue Salvia, which I discovered last year is NOT a perennial which survives Zone 4. Still, I LOVE The deep color and it looks great in my blue garden. I love the combinations. The fish is a favorite piece of art created by my friend
Sue Seeger.
Pheasant Tail plant that came to my garden by way of my cousin Mark and Sue's garden.
Well, please don't be mad. I just can't do anymore than the three collages I have completed. I have been distracted with gardening. I planted and planted and planted...taking advantage of all the sales on annuals and mostly perennials. I have transplanted lots of sedum from one rock wall to the other. I planted a tomato, with visions of a fresh tomato for a BLT soon. My Delphiniums are top heavy and some branches have totally fallen down. Next year, maybe some kind of trellis or support to help them. (You'd think Nature would have made compensations for this!) I am very pleased with the results and am happy now to sit back and enjoy the way the gardens look. Even while working in my studio I can look outside and be close to nature. That was the goal! In the past, I never enjoyed the process of gardening. This year has been different. The process has been part of the joy.
