Where the Green Things Are
This is a long shot of the Northeast fence in the back corner where I
have been very busy this spring adding new things.
The Mammoth Elephant Ears are coming along and
will fill the entire length & height of fence shown above.
Dead Nettle at the feet of the Elephant ears will add color and texture to the area.
Just to the left of the back gate there is a very happy Rice Paper Plant.
This is a return player that I was glad to see made it through the unpredictable
temperature changes we've had the last 6 to 8 weeks.
Calla Lilies along the back fence.
This is their second season & I'm quite surprised by their heartiness.
I made no special provisions for the bulbs and were quite close to the surface
until I put a new layer of hardwood mulch over the area a few weeks ago.
They are much later than last year but here they are!
We'll see in a few weeks if they manage to bloom.
Cosmos along the stone path coming off the patio.
These are coming up from last year's seeds & I'm pleased to
have them flanking the end of the path again this season.
Ornamental Milkweed in a pot on the deck.
This is a return player as well, that recieved no special winter treatments.
I just pruned it back to an inch of stalk above the soil and left the pot on the deck
exposed to the elements. She is well on her way to another spectacular showing.
