Galega x hartlandii 'Lady Wilson' On Monday, our garden was included in the HPSO Study Weekend. This is a four-day event that includes speakers, plant/art sales and garden tours. The event rotates every two years between the cities of Portland, Seattle, Victoria B.C. and Vancouver B.C. It will be 2033 before Portland hosts again. I toured the Portland gardens on Friday and Saturday and will share some photos in my next post. The weather was perfect on those days. Not so much on Monday, the day for the Vancouver, Washington gardens tour, and by late afternoon, the temperature had reached 94. However, it wasn't too bad in the first part of the day, and that's when we received the most visitors. We didn't have an exact count, but making an estimate based on our guestbook, I would say around 200 people. It was a hectic but fun day!

So pretty! gorgeous flower!
ReplyDeletePhillip,
ReplyDeleteIt grows well here in NC. I have seen it in VA. Already finished blooming here. We don't have room either.
Where in NC, coast, piedmont or mountain? What Ph is your soil?
DeleteThanks
Flowers look lovely and kind of soft! Nice photos, Phillip!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the post on the paper bush, Phillip! Wish we could grow one here!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I came across this today - I keep meaning to add this to my garden, and each fall keep forgetting. Maybe this year I'll try putting it in now, meaning that I'll need some patience (what? what's that??) before I see it bloom in my own garden. I think it's just gorgeous - thank you for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteIf you can find the cultivar of Edgeworthia chrysantha 'Winter Gold', buy it. The flowers are doyble the size of the species. Great pictures of the flower in your post.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if I could grow this in Scotland? I would make room..
ReplyDeleteI have coveted Edgeworthia for so many years, but have never found the "perfect spot" in my garden. I have to go to the public gardens to see them in bloom every year!
ReplyDeleteWOW, those pictures are so beautiful. Love the blog, keep up the great work!
