painted tounge, before flowers
daisies, before flowers
planted and mulched
Look Ma! No Hands!Just a little prettying up.
My Guy trimmed the dead out of our white pines, up to about 16 feet.
My Mom had sent me a little folding money for Mother's Day and I scurried off to the garden center to spend it all all all! I have been wanting to spruce up the front walk which is made up lovely slate, but tends to be a bit bare. I prefer perennials for getting my money's worth, but self seeding annuals are always fun. You never know where they will pop up! Any woody ornamentals are kind of out, because of all the snow and plowing and all, so no azaleas or lavender or any shrubby thing.
So, lovely perennial daisies head up the walk. I love yellow and white daisies for their lack of pretension and their ability to flower all summer. In the self-seeding annual category there are (wait for this name, it's so good) Salpiglossis sinuata, or painted tongue. They will be really pretty if they survive the stomping that this household can dole out.
