Wild Bed
Friday, July 3, 2009 at 9:25AM Nature does not have straight lines or square corners, which is why I love the Better-Half's wild perennial bed. The Fern Leaf Peonys (Paeonia tenuifolia) have just finished blooming (lower left).
The big orange Poppies (Papaver orientalis 'Brilliant') are now putting on their annual show. Of course, not to be out done the pink and red Painted Daisies (Tanacetum coccineum) are trying to compete for their share of attention.
Soon the loud spring colours will fade into the soft cool blues and violets of summer, then the Speedwells (Veronica longifolia) and Geraniums (Cranesbill)
--- will begin demanding our attention!
