Went out in the garden today and did a bunch of pix. 20 of the best are collated into a new slideshow on Photobucket.
A couple of notes:
- the osteospermum is a new one with very intriguing bloom color. The petals when new, are edged with a golden tan. But as they mature, they fade to a dusky mauve tone instead. Unusual and pretty!
- the two Japanese maples are scheduled to go into the ground (at last!) in another month. The 'Aureum', or Full Moon Maple, was a steal at $80 a few years ago (they are VERY slow growers and hence quite expensive). The 'Emperor 1' beauty is to replace an identical tree which died in a rare February freeze in early 2007.
- some of the roses have been in full bloom for a month (Margaret Merrill, Double Delight, Intrigue) but 'Delany Sisters' is a bit behind. The plant is fully leafed out, however, and there's a ton of buds, so I took a photo of it anyway for inclusion. It should be spectacular in a few weeks.
