Artemesia silver king.. great for dry flowers of fresh, smells mmmmm good!
April 2009 in the garden
My goodness blossom you are going to have a wealth of blooms if your sun ever shines. What beautiful specimens you have coming up there. Do you find that your spiderwort gets to spreading too much and then eventually wants to flop? I always like it when it first comes out but tire of it in time.
Dianne I never heard of that striata, but it is lovely.
Guess I better get my camera out on Monday next week as I have that day off.
I love the spiderwarts. I have sevearl different sizes... blue, pink light blue and usde to have a white. It is one that I dont care really where it sprouts. It can jump anywhere in my wild garden!
I have baby maples.. these are a weed maple..
Here is a sprouter of my honeysuckle vine
Baby black eyed Susans
I love Black eyed Susan!!
Valerain. on of my favorites and another one that can sprout up any where it likes, it has a sweet smell to it and is a very pretty white lacey flower in bloom.
Blossom - the Valeriana is a new plant for me. I looked it up on the plantfiles and it is a lovely plant. I have never seen it in a nursery before. Does it make a good cut flower? That will definitely be on my wish list if it is. And the fragrance would be a wonderful bonus.
Hi Terri! I got something for you coming up soon... But first, what the heck is this??? I think I am gonna start another thread called WHAT THE HECK IS IT!!
Oh mate, yes, Valerian makes a wonderful airy cut flower. Here is some Sweet William sprouters for you!
Terri, heres a good one for cutting, although I have always had trouble getting staunch stems here with these, the beloved Shasta daisy!
Oh yes, I was just out in the garden taking a pic of the Shasta daisy! LoL.
Looks like you've got alot of Black eyed suan seedlings, they don't do very in my garden.
Dianne, I'm sure you saw my Valerian last year!
Lovely terri! Here are some mulberry sprouters! Cant wait until the berries come! YUMMMY!
Black eye susan grows like weed in my garden and I have to really remember to dig out the edges and deadhead regularly.
Terri - if I did see your Valerian last year, I have totally forgotten. I do that a lot these days LoL. Maybe I thought that they were like the white version of what we sometimes call red valerian (centranthus ruber) , a totally different plant which I already have and does not make good cut flowers, but tend to be invasive.
If either you or Blossom remember to save any Valeriana seeds, I would love some for next year. Like I said, I have not seen that plant for sale here.
And my last shot of the day....just for terri!
Hmmm valerian seeds... will try to remember, please send me a d-mail ok!
Oh yes, and here is the link to WHA THE HECK PLANT IS THIS!

Terri - what are you doing up so late????? I am about to go home from work soon.
Lots of greenery and color starting come up in your garden.

Those golden balls are fab, thought it was japonica!
Choisya and another new one to me will have to look it up as it is quite delicate.
lets' go round blossoms mulberry tree, what do you do with the berries. You sure have a lot ready to blossom, blossom, can't wait to see it all as you have quite the variety.
Here is a blossom from my pink dogwood, will likely open this weekend.
Here is the white
Seems I take this same photo every year, but this time took it from inside looking out the bedroom window.
White tree peony nestled in the phlox. Wish I had a method to get rid of the onion grass!
I have this salvia in pink and purple and it spreads like wild fire. I do like the varigated leaf with the white.
Your plants are looking Beautiful Candee!
It is Kerria Japonica! Golden balls is just what I call it.
Beautiful Candee - can't wait to see your white tree peony when it opens up!
One thing I noticed in your last picture - no tell-tale signs of snails or slugs!! So many of my plants have holes in them. Nice that yours are all intact and lovely.
Loverly ladies just lovely!
Hmmm I think my japanica is different still..It has a tricolor leaf and tiny white frilly flowers.. must nbe a different specie!?
