These red tulips were supposed to be "Ballerina" .. I let Vesey's know what happened .. I didn't expect anything in return but I got nine Ballerina free of charge ready in my Fall order for Spring bulbs and that was a nice gesture. The red wasn't so bad .. but I really wanted Ballerina lily lip tulip.
It is hard to imagine how stunning the Peacock Bronze rodgersia will be as it matures. I love a punch of purple dotted through out the gardens so little touches like this does the job for me. The little purple barberry shrub does it's best as well ?
You can see what I mean about punches of purple to break up all that green foliage.I split my Blue Mouse Ears last Fall and now I have a neat and tidy row of them here.
The kiwi vine has spectacular white splashes all over but this was the only picture I have for now. The leaves look like they were literally dipped in white paint.
Finally .. I feel like this Arisaema triphyllum is watching me when I work in the shaded area, it is kind of a spooky plant (perfect for Halloween right ?) the foliage is rather amazing too. It is actually paired with a Ghost fern .. now how funny is that ?
The garden has changed so quickly over the past week I can't keep up with current pictures .. I can't keep up with a lot as it is but this is rather frustrating .. I will soldier on though, I wait all winter for this!

That explosion is so worth waiting for, though. Your pictures are beautiful.
Your garden, from flowers to foliage, is spectacular, CGJ! I love the Azalea. I'm guessing it's one of the deciduous varieties as I've never seen one like that here. Our local garden centers only offer the evergreen varieties, not that I can grow either in my current garden. I'd love to have even just a handful of Alliums. I planted a few dozen years ago but I only got 2 blooms of 'Violet Beauty' this year and, thus far at least, not a single drumstick allium.
I would be very happy with this garden. Well done.
What a stunning azalea, such a rich colour. Oh, a girl can never have too many alliums, yours are a joy to view. Lovely that you received replacement bulbs. Haha, what a fab spooky combination.xxx
I'm glad to see you are still blogging! Everything looks wonderful. :0)
