Warm Days.

4-25-11 SHORT HILLS: The last two days have been warm, T-shirt warm, work up a sweat warm, finally. We did have more rain last night, this time with electricity, which had all the dogs upset. It delivered another 0.4 inches.

I was back at The Farm in Green Village for flowers today. I bought and planted in the new perennial bed, next to the big holly tree, eight hosta, four Hosta x Golden Tiara and four Hosta undulata Albo Marginata; two bleeding hearts, Dicentra spectabilis; and two lilyturf, Liriope muscari variegata. I used another load of compost from the town dump.

Vermont trip on Wednesday.

New blooms: dogwood, mertensia, kerria, dandelion.


Marsh Marigold. After the flower has finished, everything vanishes until next spring.



What's prettier than a magnolia?
