Out of Hibernation
Michael came out from his sewing room hibernation today! It was a beautiful day - a bit chilly with temperatures in the 50s, partly cloudy with a few sun breaks and just a few very minor sprinkles. The garden is waking up fast. I love this time of year. The trees are just leafing out, so when the sun does appear, there is a dappled scattering of sunrays dancing throughout the garden. The birds are singing and busy flitting about building their nests. In these crazy times, this is the only place where I feel totally calm and at ease and can filter out life's unpleasantries. We got a lot done today. Yesterday was even nicer with warmer temps and more sun. I got the tarps off the decks, statues and water features. Today was spent mostly cleaning up, more planting and moving pots around.

Lovely capture, Phillip! I bought this one last year. Does it self sow?

I can almost "hear" it!
ReplyDeleteThis is one big grass. Lovely with the back lighting.
ReplyDeletePlanted this a couple of years ago, and it is a complete star in my garden! Thanks for an awesome photo!
ReplyDeleteI do love that grass, Phillip; actually there are few ornamental grasses that I don't like. Wonderful photo!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Adagio and light Phillip. Great photograph!
ReplyDeleteI Love this grass. It is wild and free and makes me happy to look at it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo, Phillip.

Looks so lovely. Please tell me it doesn't self-sow and I'll try it. My husband has practically banned grasses here after love grass seedlings took over the gravel driveway.
ReplyDeleteI have not seen this grass self-sow.
ReplyDeleteA tall grass. I think I have seen a grass like that in our farm. Nice shot.

Came back to see your answer. I'd love to add more grasses to my garden because they are definitely drought and deer resistant.
ReplyDeleteI've been growing it for several years and have never seen it self sow. I almost wish it did; it's not easy to find here.
ReplyDeleteI love miscanthus. I actually think they're quite addictive. Very graceful late summer stars.
ReplyDeleteDo you know m. sinensis 'malepartus'? I saw a mature one growing at a nursery some time ago and was really taken with it.
Adagio is a beauty and that's a nice shot Phillip.
That's a gorgeous shot! I've been looking for adagio locally with no luck. Finally decided to put it in my basket at Bluestone for a fall order.
ReplyDeleteBtw, I thought you had stopped blogging. For some reason my bookmark for your blog kept showing your December post ... Christmas aftermath, in which I fall in love with a Kindle. Today I clicked on your website button and then your blog button and voila!
