| May 20, 2006. Whacking back the weeds in our Lane garden, I looked up, and realized that, in my efforts to tidy up, I hadn't actually noticed the cascade of colorful flowers right in front of me - Helenium hoopesii, painted daisy and Siberian iris providing the primary colors, augmented by a lavender haze of catmint sprawling across the walkway. Our garden's appearance is seldom "neat", but there are nearly always flowers to be found among the slightly out of control plantings. And when things go just right, they combine into a pretty picture like the one here! |
