More Plants

We'll see more as summer progresses, but here are a few of the interesting plants that Mrs. F.G. has collected. They certainly add a lot to the garden. 

There is one big Poppy, now out in bright orange.


In a back corner of the garden are several Alliums.

Petunias are inter-planted with some of the tomatoes.

We have two little roses, fairly small and surrounded by the much taller Peonies.  It's a yellow rose and will typically bloom for a long time into the fall.
 
At the back of the garden we have two Rhododendrons, staying quite small, but with these brilliant pink flowers.

And the addition of these two towers has provided dozens of extra small pockets of soil where Mrs. F.G. can experiment.

  1. The towers are way cool, I suspect that they are watered from the inside of the tower...cool:) That Oriental Poppy is a beauty!

  3. I can see strawberries later on in your menu, lovely towers with so many varieties, and that brilliant poppy. What a delight to see those blooms after winter.

  4. The various flowers of June are amazing. Exactly what is that one in the first photo? A Globe Thistle? Teasel?

    1. That's the Poppy before it bloomed. It's a very spiky looking plant.

  6. Does Mrs FG ever have the time to come in out of the garden? It just seems to go on and on with so much work involved.
