April Showers
Rhododendron 'Blue Baron' Greetings from a wet, wet garden. In between rains, I've managed to get a few photos... (And sorry for the erratic quality of these. I have a new phone and still learning how to use it. Some of these are from the phone and others from my camera). Acer japonicum 'Aconitifolium' ('Dancing Peacock') Flowering Currant ( Ribes sanguineum ) 'King Edward VII' Clematis 'Stolwijk Gold' is beautiful for the first time after languishing in the garden for five years. Turns out, it is all my fault. This is a clematis that should not be cut to the ground in early spring. You live and learn, and I know that I will never understand the rules of pruning clematis.

ReplyDeleteGlad to see my cat isn't the only one who does that...even after I put a basket with a pillow in it for her to sleep in. Darn cat!

ReplyDeleteOh my! How kind of you to allow her/he to continue sleeping. I have several of my neighbor's cats enjoying my garden as well..including my birds..
ReplyDeleteGood luck!

ReplyDeleteOhai! Ya put it here fer me didja? Tanks.
ReplyDeleteHe is so cute!
ReplyDeleteOh yes! You are growing the wonderful fur plant! I have a few of them!DL
ReplyDeleteActually, I think your containers are doing very well as a cozy nap space! :o)
ReplyDeleteYou may have solved the mystery!
ReplyDeleteTime to grow a pot of Catnip!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLoafing.
ReplyDeleteSee how clever kitty is, searching out the higher soil temperatures in the pot to kip, and elevated too - perfect.
Oh my goodness. That may explain my pot difficulties as well. Such a sweet kitty, how can you disturb her? :)
ReplyDeleteThe cat says 'well this is the perfect size to cozy up in'. No plants can stand up to that. LOL.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fine kitty specimen..."anyone" can grow an ole flower...LOL
ReplyDeleteTough decisions happen every day in the garden. No doubt if you put one there for kitty, he would choose the planted one.
ReplyDeleteShe looks adorable, that is if she/he doesn't poop in the pot! ;)
