Flowers by Mrs. F.G.

The other day Mrs. F.G. came and got my phone to go out in the garden and get some pictures.  She was thinking of one flower, I forget which one, but she just carried on and got a lot of nice shots of emerging flowers.  The garden is changing rapidly these days, amid the rampant growth of dozens of plants.

We have two Rhododendrons, which have incredibly beautiful flowers, even though the plants have stayed quite small.

We've also got a small Azalea, which looks white to me, but which Mrs. F.G. claims is a very light pink.  Her eyes are much better than mine!

This year she has planted lots of Marigolds which will brighten up several corners of the garden.

The Maidenhair Fern is unfolding quickly, in my mind the prettiest of ferns.

The Forget-me-knots continue to spread through the garden.

The delicate flowers of the Solomon's Seal hang beneath its stem like tiny bells.

And out by the front door the first of our many Clematis has burst into bloom.  These blooms are quite large and completely white.

I'll add this close-up, my only contribution to this post!

  4. Just beautiful! I've been noticing rhododendrons in folk's yards this year, and wondering if they'd survive up here on the hill.

  12. Beautiful flowers -- I have to agree that the maidenhair fern is the prettiest of ferns, although I think the walking fern is the most interesting.

  13. What joy to see your flowers! And so funny what does well for you that I have zero luck with---forget-me-nots, rhodendron, I even struggle with marigolds, that easiest to grow flower. I only have luck with them in the veggie garden.
