I am a fortunate mortal indeed: I dwell at a home surrounded by magical flowers, and work at a botanic garden with vast collections. Above is Anemone ranunculoides in the Rock Alpine Garden in spring....I will never get around to blogging about all these, so I will just cram in a bunch all at once with a sigh. Life is too short to get it all said...and pictures are supposed to be worth lots of words aren't they?
Anthriscus sylvestris 'Ravenswing' growing in full sun in the Schlessman Plaza at the Gardens...drives me nuts!
Aquilegia pyreneica (or something close) at Laporte Avenue Nursery...don't live or work there, but wish I did!
Argemone munita in my garden. Not for sissies (the poppy). Neither is my garden, come to think of it...
Asclepias subverticillata at DBG: there is more crazy stuff there..
The lower meadow in the Rock Alpine Garden filled with Asphodeline lutea...Dare started this and Kintgen has perfected it...aaaaaah!
Catanache caespitosa at my house with a little ice plant...(shhhhh!)
Clematis albicoma in the Rock Alpine Garden....this is so awesome. I think it was Mike Kintgen who put this here? To DIE for, don'tcha think?
