All the Ingwersen's Variety geraniums in the Median are in bloom. Some of them seem loose at the crown - the plant sort of flops to one side, but they came like that from the nursery. Possibly too long in their containers and over-grown.
But it's a pretty sight.
All the other perennials look healthy, and the tender amsonia of two weeks ago has blue buds.
I was not happy with three of the roses, which had significant dieback, and I swapped them out today, for happier ones. Reason for unhappiness: grubs in roots! From nursery. But the other roses have lots of buds and glossy green leaves.Tomorrow I go apple tree hunting on Long Island. In the boss' new car. Let's hope that goes well...thanks, Boss!
Boy do they grow fast! Hard to believe this was just planted, for a neophyte like me any way. The good news is it makes it harder for the dogs to spoil it...
ReplyDeleteWell, I think the "Mariedian" is looking lovely. And I wish I had coined that term :-)
ReplyDeleteMarie, being a graffiti fan and a Brooklyn-er (Brooklynite?) have you seen these:

They made me smile.
"Mariedian"! I love it, MIT! And yes, it is looking beautiful...you do good work, Marie ;-)

Can't believe all that growth in such a short time - maybe NY vibe
