The blue flax and moonshine yarrow are in full bloom along the patio, making the mornings colorful and bright. The sunflower seeds have been planted and most have emerged as two-winged green things, a promise of petals and leaves to come. I’ve been putting more blue flax and orange cosmos seeds in around the established plants, [...]
The irises are not as abundant or luxurious as they were last year, but they still provide glimpses of sublime beauty.
It’s a gorgeous day here in Bowman, and I’ve been out enjoying the late season beauty of the garden. The cosmos and fuzzy face sunflowers are adding a touch of color along the patio these days. September Morning in the Garden
The wind went down in the late afternoon, and I decided to get some photos of the patio before the flowers fade away. Things turned out pretty well this summer, and I really like the dwarf sunflowers, lilies, yarrow, white phlox, cosmos and old-fashioned double hollyhocks that have bloomed along the edge of the patio. For [...]
The dwarf sunflowers along the patio are blooming now, along with about a dozen larger ones in the main garden. There will be new varieties to observe just about every day now for a while. View from the Patio Last Evening
I spent a lot of time in the gardens over the week-end, clipping plants here and there, pulling weeds, watering, gathering seeds, and soaking up the sunshine and color that surrounded me. Here’s a photo of the black-eyed susans at sunset last night. Their fuzzy stems against the darker green background were very appealing to [...]
Well, here we are on the Fourth of July. The springtime and planting rush is over, and now we can see the results of that effort. Hope you all have a great holiday, wherever you may be. Peony Blossom
Well, here we are, in the good old summertime. This is another photo from the garden, taken after a rain last night. There are still quite a few more irises with buds on them. It’s a pleasant surprise to see what new beauties have unfolded overnight. The sunflower sprouts are getting taller every day, and I suppose [...]
The iris garden is full of big, colorful blossoms, and I’ve been admiring them from every angle, in all kinds of light. Yesterday I photographed them with raindrops in the morning, and with glowing light near sunset. Yellow Iris in the Light
I’ve really been enjoying the sweetness of June! As I have been out weeding, watering, planting, it’s been pure pleasure to listen to the birds sing, watch a cute little cottontail scamper around the garden, glimpse the latest unfurled iris blossom, see the rows of sunflower seedlings emerge, and enjoy the bright color combinations of geraniums, [...]
