Below are some pictures of the goings-on in the garden.
Brother Tim helped me get this chore done–the raised veggie bed with lettuce, endive, and tomatoes. We also put in some pumpkins in the herb garden behind.
Hippeastrum blooming in the greenhouse. This is “Green Dragon” and an unknown mini red. The red pot has three scapes coming up!
Close-up of the red flower. Very clean red color.
I created a display of the flowering plants left in the greenhouse–still some great color in there.
The potted Daphne from sister Cate pictured in the last blog.
Another sister Cate Daphne–this one is a lovely lavender and smells even stronger than the other one, but is a more hesitant bloomer.
Lots of Clematis blooms on the back fence.
Another Clematis cultivar–might be “Markham’s Pink.”
Nasturtium vine that climbed up the greenhouse wall and is blooming already.
An air plant blooming in the greenhouse–an amazing color combination.
Pitcher plant blooming in the greenhouse. It has two flower scapes this year.
“Green Dragon” close-up.
Another view of “Green Dragon.”
Another view.
My favorite of all the Clivia seedlings so far–just the right amount of pastel yellow and salmon.
Another view.
I planted the two Sisyrinchium striatum plants out yesterday in the bed in front of the greenhouse. The flowers were much showier this weekend than last.
