Hi Ricki,
I’m amazed at foxgloves growing wild! How lovely it must be to have them turn up in your garden. I really like your “pistil” banner-it’s so reminiscent of really great quilts and a nice palette too. Thanks for checking out my site, too. I also love the sword like leaves of the iris. all in a row they make their own neat looking fence. Sarah

Hi there Ricki

I love the alliums – great to see them in your garden too. I also loved the flesh toned iris although I don’t have enough areas in full sunshine for them in my garden!

Enjoy the rest of your week

All your blooms are so nice. I especially like your tree peony. The color is so rich.

Leslie, the armandii on the deck is about twenty feet long, but the other one we bought at the same time is only six or so feet tall and yet to produce any blossoms. The happy one receives late afternoon filtered sunlight.
Nan, the E wulfenii is bigger than I thought. Once the rains took a break from beating them down, they straightened up and are as tall as I am. The ones I planted on purpose are not nearly as vigorous as the random seedlings that pop up here and there.
Malisa, I talk a good laissez-faire attitude, but I, too, do my best to banish the dandys.
Thanks to all who have commented here…makes this whole process more fun.

My husband is constantly reminding me that it’s just a bias we have against dandelions and such. I try to be understanding…and sometimes it’s a good excuse. But I still try to make them disappear.

Ooh - you are so lucky to have Clematis armandii. I’ve never seen it in person, but your photo and description make it appear as wonderful as I’d imagined. And I envy you your Euphorbia wulfenii: I dearly wish I could grow that!

Things are looking very springlike in your garden! So how long is your C. armandii? I’ve got mine on an arbor…it’s less than a year old. And I love your pot/totem! How much more meaningful than something anyone can buy…definitely garden art!

Lots of bloom in your garden! I like those last flowers, they will indeed bloom no matter what!
