On March 27 we got that heavy rain and thus I no longer could capture these beautiful 'Mother of Pearl' Glenn Dale Azaleas in Our Garden... Too bad for having to wait another year for being able to do so! All that I can show you is below, with big rain drops on them. This
'Mother of Pearl' ←(right click it) Azalea has white stamens and also a kind of leopard spotting. There would be lots of things to see on a tour from
Book an Event with us.
These Azaleas are very unusual as the stamens are by far not as long as on the other varieties I've shown till now. Hope you enjoyed this 'wet' version of 'Mother of Pearl' hybrids by Glenn Dale.
- There are all sorts of vines but the Wisteria chinensis is a very vigorous one.
- You will see one picture of a 'MONSTER', which we had to cut down about six years ago.
- It had completely strangled the tree that it was climbing up on and we were afraid that the tree would die and topple...
- Needless to say that such a safety hazard is not wanted.
- But their blossoms are lovely and very fragrant as well.
- Join me for a garden tour from Book an Event ←(click it) with us.
- Above 3 photos are from our Wisteria chinensis that grows near the creek.
- Next I like to show you the one that got the death penalty... It was an untamable 'MONSTER'...
- This is a beautiful white Wisteria with very long trusses of highly fragrant flowers.
- And a pink one is climbing up the trees, that are near the creek in the back of our property.
- When those Wisteria chinensis are done blooming from the end of March till mid April, then we have in June this non-invasive Millettia Reticulata (Evergreen Wisteria) follow up!
- This one is available at Durio nursery.
Which one do you like most?
Quite a head turning tree in our garden is this Pink Cascade Weeping Peach from Stark Bro's so I'm eager to show you this fountain of hot pink blossoms. A feast for the bees and bumblebees as well. Join me into the garden on a tour from Book an Event with us. We will show you also our gazebo where we'll have the coffee/tea with cake towards the end... ENJOY!
Bees and Bumble Bees LOVE it!
