A quick way to embellish a $7 bunch of roses is by adding fresh winter cuttings to it. This not only fills out the arrangement and provides contradting texture but, it also gives it a flare of seasonal character❄️
This bunch of roses has some Pachydandra, Arborvitae and Frasier Fir mixed in 😀
Happy Gardening!
Whats In It?: Rudbeckia Golsturm, Limelight Hydrangea, Pachysandra.
The contrast between the bold, rigid and golden Goldsturm Rudebeckia and the billowing, creamy white Limelight Hydeangea have me in a dreamy summer trance!
This is my go to mid-summer bouquet!
Happy Gardening!
Hydrangeas are putting on a colorful show this year! Whether it’s a result of last year’s wet summer or the mild winter, I am enjoying the brilliant blue and purple blossoms! Take some time to stop and enjoy the hydrandeas because only nature knows when this will happen next.
This week we are celebrating teachers! Letting your teacher know that you appreciate them doesn’t have to cost you anything…..cutting flowers from your yard is free! These beauties are headed your way Wolcott Elementary School!
It’s Tulip Season!
I’m having a love/ hate season with my Moris Gudanov Tulips. The sun and heat of those 100 degree days followed by heavy rain has the stems looking like cork screws!

Looking for a great perennial border plant? Check out Allium millennium! As you may have guessed from its picture this is a ornamental onion plant that is related to the whimsical spring blooming Allium bulb. This mid-late summer perennial bloomer puts on a beautiful purple display starting in mid-July. The tidy grass-like foliage stands about 12″ tall with the purple blooms at about 18″. It has proven to be fairly drought tolerant and the honey bees are loving them too!
Happy Gardening!
A fun mixture of Pink Peonies, Blue Hosta, and Coreopsis!
