I guess it's BLACK

Well, after a months of waiting, they finally bloomed. I ordered "Darkness Visible" delphiniums from Jackson & Perkins last fall. The description was "black to brownish gray". Well, I guess its BLACK. One is black, the other is black/white, and the last one hasn't yet bloomed. All three are planted in my Black and White garden area. I also have a "White Swan" echinacea, "Sweet Cream" marigolds, "Black Barlow" columbines, a "Nigra" hollyhock, "Sooty" sweet william, and a "Chocolate Soldier" columbine. The black and white is accented with red/maroon "Black Prince" snapdragons, and a tall "Black Beauty" oriental lily.






Can't wait till it's all in full bloom. Did I mention all this in a big 2' X 2' plot!

Spring

It's Spring in Seattle, at last. The past few days have been beautiful, temps in the 70's. See what the weather brought out. It's a white Chinese tree peony. Went to the annual McLendon's Pancake breakfast and plant sale. Bought a few starts, and a red peony plant. Can't wait till my little garden is in full bloom!

I'm in!

Wow, this is my first post. How exciting!
