Pinterest is an online pinboard.
Organize and share things you love.
how-to: succulent sphere - i really, really want to make one of these.
GREAT GARDEN SITE! Everything from planning to identifying, flowers, veggies, fruit, perennials, container gardening, ponds, etc.
Tree Dahlias. I love these. They grow at the top of tall, tall bamboo like stalks, that shoot up out of the ground to about 18' before bursting into flower in the fall (late Nov-early Dec).
Verbascum bombyciferum 'Arctic Summer'- My favorite plant! Tough as nails and crazy big!
Dispensers of nesting material for backyard birds using discarded alpaca fleece too short for spinning.
Spring wouldn't be spring without lilacs. These beauties offer lush sprigs of sweetly scented blooms in shades of pink, purple, lavender, and white. Lilacs are great cut flowers, so enjoy the great fragrance indoors and out.
Mock Orange. Along with hyacinths and lilacs, mock orange provides one of spring's best fragrances. This easy-growing shrub produces pure-white blooms you can smell from feet away.
Plant Colored cauliflower-more vitamins,more nutrition, and makes a pretty salad
Clematis from my garden. Clematis are of the Ranunculaceae botanical family. The majority of clematis are climbers. Two notable exceptions are the species C. heracleifolia and C. integrifolia which are herbaceous, and fit well in a perennial garden border. There are several hundred species of clematis world wide. The vast majority of thse are very hardy, however, some species particularly the evergreens, can only take a few degrees of frost. Uploaded with Pinterest Android app. Get it here: bit.ly/w38r4m
Foxgloves. They would indeed look lovely on the paw of a fox, don't you agree?
Weigelas. Arching stems covered in bell-shape flowers in late spring to early summer make weigela a traditional favorite for mixed shrub borders and backgrounds. But there's new varieties that also flaunt flashy foliage in shades of gold, green, white, and rose for a long season spectacle.
Little Mischief Don't let its name deceive you; 'Little Mischief' is a perfect resident for any sunny garden. It produces masses of red flowers (that fade to hot pink as they age) all season long. And this variety isn't bothered one bit by disease. Size: To 2 feet tall Zones: 4-9
Paint the Town Incredibly disease-resistant and easy to grow, this great rose produces tons of red flowers all season long. The flowers are perfectly shaped and its mounding habit makes it an ideal ground cover for sunny spots. Size: To 3 feet tall Zones: 4-9
Echinacea, "Magnus Superior" (Swallowtail Garden Seeds: seeds, perennial). They highly recommend this variety.
Firecracker 'Firecracker' adorns itself with masses of bright cherry-red blooms. Each bloom has a cheery white center. This low-maintenance, disease-resistant plant is in bloom all summer. Size: To 3 feet tall Zones: 4-9
Russian Sage. I love Russian sage. One of the toughest plants, it offers fragrant silvery foliage and plumes of violet-purple blooms. Taller varieties are great for the back of the border. Not only is it heat and drought resistant, but deer, rabbits, and most other pests steer clear of it.
