Beautiful, sunny, windy day. Stonehenge - many visits over the years including on on a long ago summer solstice - with 250,000 other ‘hippies’! Great to be back this side of the pond.
If you are picking this up on my @northviewgarden Instagram I am also posting to my @jennyrosecarey account

A Columbine collection - 10 varied flowers. I let the bees get to work and cross my columbines to get lovely- and sometimes surprising results. These are some of the hybrid ones that are in bloom now - see earlier post for our native East coast Aquilegia canadensis. I sprinkle the ripe seed around the garden and they germinate in place - especially in gravel - path or bed.

So honored and excited to receive the Letitia Glen

So honored and excited to receive the Letitia Glenn Biddle award at a garden party at the Andalusia Estate and Garden. A rainy, chilly day did not deter the revelers who had a merry time amongst the spring blooms. Go and visit if you are in the Philadelphia area. Check website for all the visiting times and other information. Thank you to the team at Andalusia for a lovely evening and for this fantastic honor

So grateful to see a little sun at the end of the day - following 3 inches of rain. A little corner of Northview Garden for all the mothers and mother figures who have made a difference in our lives - happy Mother’s Day

Self-sown columbine that sowed itself into a grave

Self-sown columbine that sowed itself into a gravel area. Photo taken a couple of days ago in sunshine. The flower is such a lovely complex bell-shaped flower. Today it rained all day and there was no sign of the sun. I know that showers bring flowers but I think that I am done with showers!

Fritillaries are perfect to add drama and height t

Fritillaries are perfect to add drama and height to a lackluster spring garden. This is a selection - 10 photos- of the ones that are in bloom right now in early May in the mid Atlantic. I have had others in bloom for about a month. They share the dangling bell-shaped flower but vary in coloration. With a preponderance of dusky plums, olive greens, and soft yellows. Order early for fall planting and they will add delight to your garden next spring

Lots of small-scale flowers to suit the little copper lustreware jug - including violas, pulmonaria, corylopsis fresh foliage, Jacob”s Ladder, Leucojum, daffodils Sundisc and Hawera, Ipheion, and Sweet Woodruff. Late sunlight on a reflective surface with the window reflection and redbud tree outside.

Early morning visit to RHS Garden Wisley. So many changes since I was last there. New entrance, visitor amenities, trial gardens in a much more accessible place and wonderful new Hilltop Building - see next post. Here is the water lily pond near the old laboratory building that is being repurposed. Loved seeing my Glorious Shade book in the library- and people had taken it out!

Rock garden area with waterfall - hidden from view

Rock garden area with waterfall - hidden from view. The creeping phlox have been blooming for weeks. The white - appropriately named - Snow in Summer - does really well at the top with perfect drainage and the low-growing pinks are beginning to open with their sweet-fruity fragrance. I took this late this evening. The sun was setting and the first bats of the season were circling overhead.

Wishing a very Happy Mother’s Day to all of the mothers and those who act as mothers in our lives. With gratitude for all that you have done. This flower is for you

Glistening Mayapple leaves are such a wonderful gr

Glistening Mayapple leaves are such a wonderful ground level understory for a dappled shade area. Light patterns reflect off their flat surfaces. Beneath plants with two leaves to a stem there is a hidden white flower that when pollinated becomes the ‘mayapple’ of the common name. This particular mayapple is native to Eastern USA. Podophyllum peltatum

Woodland Peony is a shade-loving spring flower that is a real wow. White luscious petals shine out in dappled shade. Give it good woodsy soil rich in shredded leaves.

Dangling cowslip flowers are unusual in shape. Related to primroses but held on an upright stalk. They need a damp spot in dappled shade to do well in the garden. In hot climates shade them from the hot afternoon especially. A lovely spring treat.
