Readers may remember my planting posts last November when I planted twenty flowering shrubs to replace some overgrown evergreen by the living room window. Well, I thought they all survived the winter, but two abelia ‘Mardi Gras’ died after seeming to be alive. I took the corpses back to the Farm at Green Village and got half credit for two new shrubs and some lamium and tomatoes for Vermont.
I planted the shrubs and lamium today—red twig dogwood, Cornus servicea baileyi, and a cotoneaster, Cotoneaster horizontalis ‘Variegatus’. The lamium replaced the dead abelia—four purple, L. maculatum ‘Purple Dragon’ PP #15890, two pink, L. maculatum ‘Pink Pewter’, and one white, L. maculatum ‘White Nancy’.
New blooms: black chokeberry, star-of-Bethlehem, white rose.
Star-of-Bethlehem. The thing to the left of the flower that looks like a green, clenched fist is tomorrow's flower.
