Planted in the verge so the whole neighborhood gets to enjoy.

New addition to the garden called Black Caviar and this is her maiden bloom.

The long game:
The cut wound on this pine will probably take another 2-3 years to fully "heal"

Im hoping the the trunk will be thick and tapered enough to merit a bonsai pot in another 6-8 years

(It was air layered/grafted from a mature tree around 6-7 years ago )

Looking forward to some nice strawberries this summer:

This single rose popped up at the edge of my yard from an old abandoned bush that’s now surrounded by blackberry.

Weekend garden duty

Not really active gardening, but close enough…
I got a nice little patch behind the house that only gets mowed once a year, if at all. Every May we see some of the nicest orchids.

Following on @FOXY ’s orchid theme, saw this beautiful terrestrial orchid in Turkey’s northwest area.

Dactylorhiza majalis

The second coming. In a good year, we will get a third and sometimes even a fourth.....

@Giles how are the plums?

[Giles]

None. I pruned the tree very hard earlier in the year. It exhausted itself last year and need some very tough love.....

[Tago Mago]

Are you sure this is the right thread for your conversation or should I move it to grooming?

What on earth is that?

@Giles wife’s part of the garden, came out of a pack of wildflower seeds so not sure. Very unusual.
