Valerian flowers. |
Mostly I stood in one spot and clicked away in various directions. The first one, at left, is the 6 ft. tall valerian plant in the medicinal bed. Valerian, as you may know, is a good natural relaxant and sleep aid.

Look at those Egyptian walking onions! They look like a crowd of waving hands. Their little bulbils are already putting out more little onions sprouts and in a month, they'll be tipped over to the ground with bulbs on top.
The valerian is a regal plant. This is looking back toward the herb shop porch and bell tower.
Larkspurs, Sweet Williams and Russian salvias are showing off this week but next week the Asiatic lilies will take over for color.
Vines are climbing to the top of the gazebo. |
And Cricket waiting for someone to throw her favorite flying toy. She spends part of her time hunting lizards, which gratefully, she can't catch yet.
So that's what's happening in the garden today. I hope you will enjoy the views.
Gorgeous, gorgeous! Can't wait to see it and you two.

Your gardens are beautiful! I've have several of your books that I have enjoyed over the years. Is your open house open to the public?
ReplyDeleteMaybe i will comment with one word, beautiful or maybe just wonderful. I wish I wasn't so lazy and could garden like this.
ReplyDeleteI have tried to figure out how I got to your place and have never been able to do so. I may as well have been blindfolded. lol
Take care my friends.
