Garden photos

When my damaged arm gives out from the activities of the day, I continue to amuse myself by looking through photos of the gardens from the past three years. This part of Wisconsin is a winter wonderland right now with tiny icicles hanging from snow laden conifer branches and pure white deep snow all around. I've come up with a little system to keep myself from posting photos previously shared unless I feel a need... with that in mind, and with no particular theme other than the joys that come from gardening, here are a few new photos from Oak Lawn...  take care, Larry


The exfoliating bark of Hawthorn 'Mountain King' with rhododendrons

Blooms of Magnolia 'Galaxy' cavorting with Malus 'Snowdrift'

Magnolia 'Butterflies'

A soulangiana cultivar blooms during tulip season

The gazebo and the gazebo path past garden columns

The Canadian tree lilac blooms in the distance

Papaver 'Patty's Plum' blooms are a beautiful combination with the it's own foliage

Late crab apple season includes varieties of Sargentii

French lilacs perfume the air in season

Beauty of Moscow is perhaps my very favorite

Of the clematis that I am familiar with, Henryi has perhaps the longest season of bloom

Pin and scarlet oak, malus & tricolor beech provide shade for digitalis and hostas

I remember purchasing my first bleeding heart almost forty years ago

Tiger Eye Sumac & asiatics in hot colors heat up early June

In another part of the gardens cooler pink asiatics combine with Clematis 'The President'

Echinaceas combine with a pink toned hemerocallis

Orienpet Vice Versa works well with Nasturtium 'Cherries Jubilee'

At six feet, Caravan towers over many of the other lilies in the gardens

I have to admit a love for the vertical aspects of the gardens, as in the case of these delphiniums
