(All “Quickies” are photos taken and posted the same day)
These photos were taken this morning at the Gardens at Waters East. - - 5.23.16
Now that Spring is in “full-swing”, there are so many plants
blooming. Walking around the
gardens today – I chose only a few of the many delights there today.
Enjoy
Let us start our tour with a photo from late last night of the Asian Patio fountain.
Red Tulip
Virginia Bluebell
Candytuff
Cushion Spurge & Daffodil
beach stone -- filled pot in Formal Garden
wild strawberry
Forget-me-not
Petasites japonicus - "Dinosaur Food"
In the fifteen years of gardening here - this is the tallest that the buds have ever grown.
The leaves will end up being 2&1/2 feet to 3 feet across - amazing.
(There will be a separate posting of this plant later in the Summer - very interesting!)
Wood violet - blue
Wood violet - white

For all that your winters are very much colder than ours here in Dorset (UK) our current seasons seem pretty much in synch. Forget-me-nots, violets etc. But I had forgotten candytuft. How could I have forgotten such a simple but so very pretty a plant?
ReplyDeleteI love your daffodils and your violets, Jack ! Enjoy the spring in the gardens by the lake !
ReplyDeleteJack I know Petasites japonicus, we call it 'white hoof' and it grows in Far east of Russia. Your wood flowers are so nice, especially purple violet.
ReplyDeleteThe season is in full swing now, isn't it? Your photos are glorious,as always!
