helwenReported on a list I'm on: Bog Find (Thanks JMG)
Some pictures from the gardens here:
Scented Geranium
Sweet Woodruff in the center, with the tiny white flowers and the whorled leaves. Surrounding it is pacchysandra, and there's some leaves from a large Bleeding Heart to the left as well as a violet leaf at the top.
A dwarf Bleeding Heart that escaped one of the old beds and found a new home. The celery-looking plant behind it is Lovage (one of the babies from the parent plant, off-stage to the left).
The peony's just started blooming. This is one of KC's. Years ago she and Steve lived in Amherst and the house there had peonies. When L and I were living in a Sunderland apt. for a bit while househunting, she kept some of my plants for me in her garden. The peony decided it wanted to come along for the ride.
Random chives, hiding out under the female Holly bush.
Part of the front yard. The male Holly is in the background, with yews on either side. Perennial Flax in the foreground (blue flowers, decorative plant, not the fiber plant). The silvery green foliage is the Russian Sage, which is currently at about 1/3 it's eventual height for the summer. There's a black currant and a blueberry bush in there, but they kind of blend in with the rest of the greenery in this photo.
