Spring Beauties
Baptisia 'Purple Smoke' We are experiencing a rare day for June - drizzle and cool temps. But oh, things will change this weekend with 93 predicted for Sunday. I'm not looking forward to that. We decided to take a break from the garden today because of the weather and the fact that we've been working our butts off. Our garden will be on the HPSO Study Weekend tour at the end of the month so there is much to get done. I would normally schedule tours of our garden now in early June because I feel that it the peak time ( (and you can make individual appointments). For the Study Weekend tour, thank goodness for hydrangeas to give them something to look at! I've been filling holes and pots, Michael has been pruning and dead-heading. A few days ago, we completely redid a rock retaining wall which just about did us in. The weather has been lovely and I do hope the heat spell is a short-lived one.

so pretty! Will you be having a garden tour this year?
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous and even more so with the red foliage of the trees behind. Curious that they only planted part of the bed. There are some tulips that are reliably perennial here but usually in the public space large bed applications they just pull them out and replant with seasonal annuals.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, but I wonder, too, why they planted only part of the bed. Tulips usually do well for me and return for several years, but this year I discovered that half of mine have been chewed off! Not sure if it was rabbits or deer, but I'm not a happy camper at the moment.
ReplyDeleteWell, I suspect the reason they only planted part of the bed was money. Tulips are expensive annuals! They are so beautiful, however, and I am always tempted to plant a few.
ReplyDeleteWow, that first picture is a knockout! I suppose it was some kind of artistic statement where they planted them in a triangle shape. But it sure would have looked better if the whole bed was covered with tulips!
