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.

Red and Variations Of

I've always associated the color Yellow with spring but looking around the garden, it seems that there is currently lots of red -

Camellia 'Nuccio's Bella Rossa"




Florida Anise (Illicium floridatum 'Woodland Red')

Rhododendron 'Taurus'

Rhododendron 'Wine and Roses'

Chaenomeles 'Double Take Orange Storm' (Quince)


Ribes sanguineum (Red flowering Currant)


Barberry (Berberis thunbergi 'Admiration')

Peony

Ranunculus

    All lovely! I really need to try growing Ribes sanguineum - it's supposed to grow here.

    Rhododendron Taurus is lovely! I've always wanted to try growing currant, and the flower is so bright and showy.
