| The most intensely purple hydrangea! |
Early in the spring our side yards are so sere and bare. The land looks depleted and I despair of it looking nice. Sure I know there are a billion hosta that will come up. But it is my wife who loves the hosta, Me? Not so much. I love color. I crave it like some people crave chocolate when they have PMS! LOL And the reality is that we have precious little time to really garden. Weeding is at best hit or miss. And a lot more miss than hit. Yet somehow, this happens! A riot of blooms. Color for weeks! Stunning phlox, hydrangeas and sunflowers. The echinecea plants had a spectacular year too. Ferns made a verdant soft counterpoint to the color. Spirea bloomed with abandon. I have a couple of rose plants and they did well. My trumpet vine decided it was not dead after all and bloomed its heart out!
I am storing up all this colorful goodness. I know that we are on the ever darkening side of the wheel right now. So I share these pictures and memories so that I will be able to look back in the depths of December and remember summer.
