My garden has gone crazy this spring. Don’t know if it is the weather or my green thumb!
Here are the Japanese tree peonies – I thought they only came in one colour but apparently not. These come in several different shades.
There is also a white one with huge petals that I didn’t get a photo of, it only lasted a few days.
Then there are the azalias, several different colours,
Lastly the wisteria, growing on the railing of my deck. The perfume is stunning, makes me want to linger out there, beside the great vine. It has roots in the rocks below, I don’t know what feeds it, but it is so strong it pulled the railing out of alignment.
The other plant is called rose geranium. I’ve never been fond of geraniums since my grade 6 teacher put one in a pot on the window sill beside my seat and I caught what I thought of as the ‘stink’ of the plant for the rest of the spring. But these smell wonderful. The flower isn’t huge, but the leaves have a lot of oil in them and I dry them and use for potpourri in the winter.
How is your garden growing?
