My twisted garden

clematis hybrid Seiboldiana seed heads and flower

Isn’t it funny how strange some plants look either as they are developing or after they’ve bloomed?

The photo above is of a seed head from a Hybrid Seiboldiana Clematis.

I grow several types of clematis and this is the only one with a strangely twisted seedpod. Most of the rest of the clematis develop seed heads that look more like this:

Do you have any plants in your garden who’s leaves or flower buds look strange at the beginning or end of their life cycle?

Wasted beans

snow covered orament and dried green beans in the garden

Why I was wandering around my backyard on New Years day I can’t remember, but that’s when I decided to take a photo of the metal sun ornament that I’d hung up on the back of our enclosed porch last year.

Those poor beans that went to waste before I could pick them make an interesting accent against the cold metal sun don’t they?

Busy Bees

This weeks theme is I Spy

IMG_1759

I spy with my camera eye at least two busy bees collecting pollen from the New York Asters. Heck, there might even be a third one in the last full flower in the right hand corner. There’s a blur there that certainly looks like a happy bumble bee. You can click on the photo to see a larger image on my Flickr page.

I won’t be seeing my lovely New York Aster blooms again until autumn, but I sure hope that I’ll start to see some spring flowers soon. It’s finally warming up a bit here and the snows beginning to melt. The temperatures have been above freezing for the last two days and are expected to be above freezing (sometimes with rain) over the next four or so days, so with luck there’s a good chance that much of the snow that ruined my back last weekend will soon disappear.

Wish us snow bound northerners luck?

Want to grow luscious delicious vegetables and beautiful flowers this year? Start composting and use the compost you create on your garden!
