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! We had a lot of visitors from Seattle and areas north of us as attendees were making their way home. Every time we open our garden, there ...
What a delight to see these lovely photos... I love your photography and your plants! Larry
ReplyDeleteAs always, I admire the photos of your blooms. Waiting for your posts on roses. I am a fan of your roses!
ReplyDeleteYour March blooms are wonderful..things will be blooming all over before you know it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful spring blooms Phillip. I see several I can't grow here. It is fun seeing them. A little frustrating too.
ReplyDeletelovely flowers Phillip. Your blog looks different. Did you change the banner? Where did you get your mulch?
ReplyDeleteNice! Our tulips have just started blooming. A frost got us last night though which may delay things.
ReplyDeleteSpring looks great in your garden. Those hellebores are wonderful. What are they?
ReplyDeleteLOVE the epimedium! I have one, not as far along here as yours is ... they're so sturdy and reliable yet so delicate and fragile-looking.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments everybody!
ReplyDeleteMMD, not exactly sure. They were from a hybrid collection mix.
Rebecca, I changed the Blogger template. Not sure if I'm happy with it. The mulch came from the landfill over by the Tower.
C.C., I am loving them too. I planted more varieties last year but I haven't seen blooms yet. They are very tough and very drought tolerant which is also a big plus.
ReplyDeleteChinese Paper Bush, that is a new one to me! To bad it is zone 7 or I know what my next purchase would be!
ReplyDeleteIf you have more photos of your I would LOVE to see them!
Piękne ciemierniki Phillipie .Moje już tez pokazały swoje kwiatki ,ale bardzo podobają mi się o kolorze bordo .Pozdrawiam Bogusia
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Thanks for sharing! Can't wait for it to warm up here. We're getting snow. :(
ReplyDeleteLovely post...especially fond of the Epimedium...what a wonderful, versatile plant!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Epimedium is yet another plant that's been on my to-get list (getting longer every day). It looks so dainty but I've read that it's very tough.
ReplyDeleteJust stunning!!!!
ReplyDeleteMarch looks beautiful in your garden. Great photography, I enjoyed looking at your pictures.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing the bright colors in your garden. I have blooms on my Alabama snow wreath you gave me. It is a lovely shrub and seems to like it's spot. Thanks for being the nice garden friend you are. Oh and I'm loving the Alabama Gardener magazine too!
ReplyDeleteMagazine worthy they are!
ReplyDeleteThe hellebore looks similar to one I have called Red Lady. My dwarf iris are blooming. The tall bearded one I planted at ECM should be in bloom by Monday.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful as always, Phillip - love the colors, especially the sweet Epidemium blossoms.
ReplyDeleteChanging the template sounds like a very spring thing to do!

Love the tulips!
ReplyDeleteGoodness Phillip, I envy you those double hellebores. I only have one double, and she's taking a long time to get going. This is her third year in the garden. Viburnum 'Mohawk' is a beauty too. Happy Spring. I've got so much to do. How about you?~~Dee
