RE: Spring pics

Kitty,

Your gardens must be lovely, but poor Woody looks pretty beat up!  My cats
have had their outside time cut back as there is a mean cat in the
neighborhood who has attacked them more than once over the years. 

I like the pulmonaria and brunnera combination. I might try that one with my
new purchases.  Now I have to be on the look out for that Omphalodes! Your
Japanese maple looks beautiful.

I planted most of my purchases between the daylilies or in the pink and
white bed where I'm removing half of the foxgloves that I let take over the
bed. I still have the shade garden plants to put in.  Couldn't garden until
late afternoon as it was pouring!  Then I had to quit early as I had a three
hour chorus rehearsal.

Tomorrow I'm going to help my college aged son shoot photos at Old Westbury
Gardens.  There are loads of interesting architectural features, acres of
mature gardens, ponds, trees, etc.  He has to shoot with a large format
camera which is very bulky to use. Aren't I clever to talk him into going to
a garden?  He was thinking of going to NYC, but there's an awful lot of
bulky equipment to drag around, so I suggested an alternative!

Hi all,
I took a little spin around the garden tonight and so much more was
happening just since yesterday.  My Manchu Rose that had only had a couple
of flowers once, so I moved it, is now full of buds.  The Spring Vetchling
that struggled for years is lush this uear.  The Omphalodes are bluer than
blue and I have one Lilac that has true blue flowers, not lavender.  The
combination of Pulmonaria Smokie Blue and the Variegated Brunnera - both
with blue flowers really works well.  And my Acer p. Orangeola is leafing
out.  Epimediums are blooming like crazy.  I've posted photos in a new
album.  The last photo is of Woody.  He was in a fight last night and is
looking pretty shabby.
