Spring Colors – 2019

More viburnum and Sand cherry on the interior side of the willow garden
The street side view of the Willow garden: Sand cherry, viburnum, Golden spirea and black lace Elderberry.
Red and yellow – south/east shoulder garden
I love all the different shades of green on the interior south berm
Stage God, enjoying his mushrooms! Daylilies have burst out of the ground!
Cupola
The Russian Olive, and behind that, the Locust tree. Both were pruned hard in January. I’m keeping them in a dwarf size.
The oldest apple tree in the orchard. Leafing out after a hard prune in January.
First year transplanted shrubs on the new mid-west berm. this berm was installed to cup around the shape of what will eventually be a pond.
Hawthorn
these are white tulips with light lavender blushing. the color doesn’t show as well as I would have like in the pic. but they are in the garden next to the water dragon.
Fire dragon
My outside kitty sits calmly on the back of the dragon.

Peek-a-boo!

White daisy
first year for the transplanted iris (white, pink and black)
turkish yellow poppy
Winter aconite. these were grouped around the base of the red dragon, but the bunnies dug under the dragon and threw the bulbs everywhere.
Tulip and orange daylilly on the berms. I have about 12 patches like this sprinkled all over the berms
Daffodils. there are 200 daffodils planted around the tree. I’ll be adding more this fall!
