Yes, it has been a while since we posted anything. This is a succession of Spring this year.
This is Clematis viticella 'Blue Angel' climbing up a Schizophragma hydrangeoides which didn't bloom this season. Not really blue in our soil but we'll take the pastel blush. Native to Spain, it was introduced to English gardens in 1589 and has been a mainstay due to its vigor. This is a three year old and has grown to 15 feet.
This is a nice closeup of the Clematis viticella 'Blue Angel'.
Sedum sarmentosum is a native to China and Korea. Its leaves are edible and sold in Korean markets as Dolnamul. Its a tough plant and will grow just about anywhere. Prefers sun but we have it growing and blooming well in a shady area too.
This was an experimental bed of Digitalis. This section of the bed get its sun cut by the tree canopy so while they look pretty good, they are one sided and not as large as they would be in full sun. Just to the right is Phlox David and a Fig which are sun lovers. Amazing was a difference a foot or two can make. In the background against the fence with white blooms are large Philadelphus.
Aruncus dioicus, or Goats Beard has an unusual flower, similar to Astilbe but much larger.
This is Aruncus aethusifolius, or drawf Goats Beard.
This giant Gold Mound Spirea is the largest I've ever seen. We've never trimmed it and it is now six feet across and four feet tall.
Clematis Chevalier with its bold color.
A large and bug ravaged Clematis Henri.
Cookies and Cream Rose next to a Gold Mound Spirea. As I've said before, it was a Home Depot special for $7 several years ago and is still hanging in there.
