09 Summer - Queen Cleomes

Here are photos of the two queen cleomes we planted late last year. They are likely four feet by four feet and are clearly covered in blooms. Phil and I were surprised that they not only over-wintered so well, but have bloomed for months now.

090330 - First Ranunculus

Here are photographs I took yesterday of the first three ranunculus to bloom this spring.

I think the nice weather we had last week really made them pop.

I planted them late last season and was really surprised when they came up and bloomed. This year, they are much larger and as stunning as I'd hoped. You can see the purple one is growing alongside alyssum, violas, a massive carnation plant, and a succulent almost in bloom.

Easter, 2008 - Flower arrangement

This is the arrangement I made in the front room on Easter, 2008.

Those are pink, purple- and-white, orange, and dark pink ranunculus surrounded by yellow alyssum, pink prairie mallow, salmon winter sweet peas, and two small, blue anemones.
