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.

ReplyDeleteThanks Lois!
DeleteYour fall garden is looking absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing these beautiful views. It is starting to look very fall like here as well on the other side of the country in the northeast!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lee!
DeleteYour garden is very sophisticated with a lot of foliage textures and color, more than floral color alone. The shaggy blue conifer on the left, palmates on lower right, Rhododendron(?) oval/shiny mid right, and so on, then all the different colors of autumn. I think I go too overboard on flowers. Must start thinking about foliage plants though it is a trick to find shrubs that will stay small enough here--with our 12 month growing season, lots of plants grow far bigger than what the tag claims.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful purple in that Aster, especially with the blue conifer above it.
Thanks Hoover Boo! I have to say that I'm reaching the point where I struggle to find good spots to place sun-loving flowers. Things are growing awfully fast and I think it will be a shade garden before long. Not sure how I will cope with that!
DeleteThanks Kris! Geranium 'Rozanne' is an incredible plant!
