Study Weekend Garden Tours - Southeast & North Portland - pt. 1
Despite all the work and hoopla of preparing for our open garden on Monday, I did manage to steal away on Friday and Saturday to visit the gardens in Portland. There were six gardens on Friday, located in the Southeast and North Portland neighborhoods. Beginning with the first three - Jenn Ferrante garden - Cool and calming, an oasis of serenity with pinks and blues and touches of chartreuse. And a majestic weeping beech. Peter Eastman and Dayrol Griffin garden - another colorful oasis with many tropical touches and a well-executed street border planting. Anne Davis & Miles McCoy garden - This small garden packs quite a punch with borders, potted plants and artistic touches. Check out that pathway! More to come...

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!
ReplyDeleteI figured it was a southern plant since I had never heard of it. It is pretty. Things like this gives me plant envy.
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!
