What's blooming today?
Wordless Wednesday
Off to work we go …
Can you imagine have enough gnomes, and enough space in your yard to create a display like this? I don’t think a display like this would suit my garden style at all but it’s kind of cute. Don’t you think so too?
I wonder why I have all the songs from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in my head now?

One of the most brilliant perennials that I grow in my garden is the Crocosmia. This one is called Crocosmia Lucifer, probably because of it’s fiery flaming red blooms.
It’s extravagant and flamboyant isn’t it?
The plant grows with reedy long leaves that come up in a clump. These green leaves reach three to four feet in height. In mid-July or so the flower stalks begin to grow and this is of course what it looks like in full bloom.
I have a few clumps of this plant that are getting a little unruly and might begin to crowd out other plants if I don’t divide them this spring. I guess this is yet another job that I must add to my list of garden chores in the coming months.

This weeks Theme is Antique
This rose goes perfectly with this weeks Photo Hunter theme doesn’t it? I mean it’s name is Antique’89 – what could be better?
This is a rose that I wrote about several times last year. It finally grew this past year. I think if I hadn’t battled it and shaped it as I described in a post called “War of the Roses” it would have been 20 feet tall and hanging over patio table making it extremely dangerous to sit at the table. This rose is a monster. It’s thorns are huge and catch on your clothes and skin so easily.
If this rose grows this year like it did last year I think I’m going to have to move it to it’s own area away from the seating area. It’s a wicked rose.
