And comes up with some lovely compositions… here’s the entryway. The Haralson apple tree was bountiful last year; this is its vacation year.
Purple centers on white line part of one of the paths…
Our neglected orange azalea is in the foreground, with the purple iris providing a delicate counter punch. We’ve learned that azaleas prefer acidic soil and have begun offering it acid enhancers.
Against the Western Wall beat the Clematis, not yet in bloom, while between them and ourselves stand the Golden Irises, a slender redoubt against transgression.
Meanwhile, a band of chives stalks innocently by…
And, out front, the ferns preen proudly, giving their all in advance of the inevitable summer burn-off. Delicate Virginia bluebells purse their pretty mouths for the hurried kiss of the pollinators, a mere moment to propagate before they return to dust, hoping for another resurrection in eleven months.
