Suddenly Spring
May 29, 2016
2,000 blog post - a nice round number. Here are some blooms around the rectory garden. The prayer garden is a little immature, but the plants there are growing!
Background to foreground: akebia vine, nepeta, bearded iris, sky pencil boxwood, New Dawn climbing rose, white rugosa rose, creeping thyme, shasta daisies, Russian sage, various heirloom roses, Husker's red penstemon.
Walker's Low nepeta has thrived everywhere I've planted it. This is a three year old specimen.
Lupine from seed.
Fourth of July Climbing Rose
Yarrow, yellow and red
Hops. For a couple of years, this plant puttered along. I think this year it's making it's move!
Three year old Julia Child rose. Extremely fragrant. Deep rich yellow flowers and dark green leaves.
John Paul II rose. He and Julia have been good neighbors.
