Sea Green (Well Make that Porch Water Green)

These plants are called Corkscrews and I experimented with them, placing them in a container of water on my porch. They are meant to be in a pond or planted in very wet ground. I don’t have a pond and it gets so hot and humid here in the summer, all my plants probably need to be in a container of water! We have to have drip systems in our gardens (pop ups and underground) that water on a schedule or we would have nothing growing! Even grass!

I have a beautiful, large, contrary fountain in my Cottage Garden. So last year I got tired of babying it. I went to the garden center and bought more of the beautiful water plants. Then I turned off the bubbly section. Nothing could be simpler, just plop the water plants in the fountain water, container and all. Voila done! I had so many compliments on my new Water Garden, I will be doing the same this year!

Screamin’ Green Hosta

Screamin’ Green, now there’s a color name for you! I love my Screamin’ Green hosta in my garden! That’s not their official name of course, but maybe it should be! I have many varieties of hosta in my Woodland Garden, but the chartreuse ones really stand out and get huge! They really pack a punch in the garden, don’t you think?

Morning Breaking Over the Cherry Blossom Tree

Spring is my favorite season! I never said that until I lived in the South! In Spring, it is always so green here, it reminds me of Ireland! And then everyday there are new blooms!  The Cherry Blossom Tree, one of the first to burst into Spring, is filled with clusters of a tinted, pinky, salmony colored flowers! Enjoy!

Salmon has been part of the Crayola Collection since 1949. It is known as Cherry Blossom, the color for Washington, DC, in the “State Color Collection”.
