The Wet, Wet Garden

After worrying about the rain deficit (we were below normal for April), Mother Nature generously rewarded us with an abundance of rain this past week. I am not going to complain although I do wish it would skip my off-days. Today (Saturday) is an especially wet day. I ventured out briefly and took a few shots. The plants grow so fast from the rain.

Early Morning Sunshine (Wide-Shot Wednesday)


Bright early-morning sunlight lights up Sumac 'Tiger Eyes' and Moor Grass (Molinia caerulea 'Variegata'). We usually have cloudy mornings due to the marine layer but when it is not there, the sunlight can be piercing.

    Very pretty! I prefer to admire 'Tiger Eyes' in other gardens. Having grown up in the Northeast, where sumac is an aggressively spreading weed, I've never been tempted to plant any variety of it. It does have nice foliage though. I love my Molinia caerulea 'Skyracer.'

    I admired the plants in this bed, and noticed the fountain grass on top cascading "green curls" on Pan's head. That hairdo requires more information :-)

    You have so many interesting corners in your garden. The sun accentuates the positive.
