Absolutely beautiful combinations Tom. We got to 32° last night, and expecting a high of 62° What is that beautiful red flower in the foreground of the last pic? A rose?
I love your vignettes. Especially your last one which is your header. A question? Are your supports for your roses in the first pic, wire or string? It looks like it may work for one of my problem areas. Love the Lamb's Ear, is that Dusty Miller? and the roses...inspiring.
I know that you see your garden everyday, but watching it through your photos, I can't believe how much you've done in such a short time! Really wonderful!
It's chilly outside isn't it? Are the bees in your garden? It is eerily silent in mine, so I'm asking a neighbor to check the wild hives on his property for activity.
Roses and gray foliage have quite and affinity, don't they? Stunning.
Thanks Tammy. Those are knockout roses. Jim will have a heart attack.
Dar, the trellis has wire supports using eye hooks between the wood uprights. It's aluminum wire, about an 18-20 gauge, I think. It's about as thick as a dime on the edge. The silver plant is Artemesia. I sowed seeds, so I don't know the variety. It might bloom this year.
Thanks Cameron. I've seen lots of bee activity the past few days. The honey bees are swarming the red clover in the backyard. Still no hummingbirds.
Nell, I love the two combinations. When the lavender blooms, it'll remind me of where I first saw that being done, in Cameron's gardens.
Tom, I love your garden and I enjoy reading your blog.
