I never imagined it would take me so long to put together another post. So, in a desperate measure I will post a photo heavy entry. My daughter just turned one. When I was pregnant I would daydream about all the time I would get to spend in the garden when I was staying home with her. How naive I was. Gardens, unlike some projects, do not stop when you walk away. They do not sit in a basket like a half knitted hat and patiently wait for your return. No way. They keep on. Weeds pop up everywhere, blooms go to seed, and plants sprawl, wander and flop. Playing catch up is a big part of gardening.
A walk through my garden revealed these. Enjoy, and don't give up on me just yet. I have a book review and some design posts in the works.
From top to bottom: Iris tenax, Michelia yunnanensis also called Magnolia dianica, two photos of Cotinus 'Grace', and Tulipa 'Queen of the Night'.
Do plant's have biographies of the kind people do, around which conversations or meditations might take place. If so, what story lies behind the Tulipa "Queen of the Night?" It's color is transporting, and its substance and form, while still Tulipian, seems not so hardy.
ReplyDeleteHello Kai, I posted the above comment without meaning to remain anonymous. I was taken by the photo of the "Queen of the Night" and wondered what you might know of its origins and lore. (Not a pressing question, but I do wonder.)
