. . . and while the day may have begun a little overcast this morning, at this moment, there is a hazy, golden cast on everything, making the most lush greens even more so, even as the lilacs are fading, and the roses on their way; and today, there are still a million things to catch up on, but for certain, there will be time for the gardens, and the flutter of leaves and fallen petals on the afternoon june […]

Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural SocietyWinner of multiple awards, an international bestseller, and one of the top ten roses of the world, Iceberg Floribunda Rose is a proven performer, beloved worldwide.Very free flowering, Iceberg Floribunda Rose bush blooms in flushes from late spring into late fall. Borne in clusters of up to 15 flowers per spray, the honey-scented double blooms are bright white and display a tuft of golden stamens when fully open. Iceberg grows vigorously and has a bushy, rounded habit of light-green foliage that is extremely disease resistant.
Basil, chives, cilantro, dill, fennel, lavender, lemon balm, mint, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage, savory, scented geranium, and thyme all grow with very little care.
The unusually large, bright pink flowers are full-petalled and deeply cupped. In spite of their size, they are never clumsy, being held nicely poised on a well-rounded shrub. There is a strong and delicious fresh Tea fragrance, which changes to lemon, eventually taking on hints of blackcurrants. Named for Princess Alexandra – a keen gardener.
Creating your own flower arrangements is a rewarding way to put cut flowers from your garden to great use. Here, we're sharing our best flower arrangement tips, according to florists.
TOP SELLER! Earth Angel is an exceptionally fragrant peony-shaped rose with bright, glossy green foliage. It’s easy to see why everyone loves her. Her upright form holds blooms in varying color from white to soft pink that change as the plant matures. Earth Angel is an old-fashioned rose with a very unique fragrance. Her scent begins with a fruity top note of lemon, then champagne, a hint of elder flower and dash of raspberries. She is what we imagine “freshness” would smell like. Her finish is a light sweetness of fresh apples and a classic rose bouquet. Give her a few years to establish and her bloom shape and scent will become more and more true to form.
Summery white ambergris, fresh peaches and a diaphanous bouquet of early fall florals - sweet clematis accord; orange jessamine; choisya; and parijat; and pale cashmere foretelling of cool autumn nights. To see a world in a grain of sand And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand And eternity in an hour. A robin redbreast in a cage Puts all heaven in a rage. A dove-house filled with doves and pigeons Shudders hell through all its regions. A dog starved at his master's gate Predicts the ruin of the state. A horse misused upon the road Calls to heaven for human blood. Each outcry of the hunted hare A fibre from the brain does tear. A skylark wounded in the wing, A cherubim does cease to sing. The game-cock clipped and armed for fight Does the rising sun affright. Every wolf's and lion's howl Raises from hell a human soul. The wild deer wandering here and there Keeps the human soul from care. The lamb misused breeds public strife, And yet forgives the butcher's knife. The bat that flits at close of eve Has left the brain that won't believe. The owl that calls upon the night Speaks the unbeliever's fright. He who shall hurt the little wren Shall never be beloved by men. -- William Blake Briton Rivière - Aphrodite 1902
Heips! Kuvasin Mortin elämää. On se aika mukavaa. Aamulla, kun tulen makuuhuoneesta, on Mortti nojatuolissaan. Ohi kävellessäni kellahtaa siinä selälleen ja haluaa rapsutuksia. Kun menen keittiöön keittämään kahvia, kellahtaa Mortti jalkoihin. Sitten on ohjelmassa puuhellan sytyttämistä "isin" kanssa. Kun poika herää, on jälleen aika seurustella. Pihalla on kiireitä, mutta on hetki aikaa halitella "mamin" kanssa. Talventähdet kukkivat. Illalla on kiva käydä pötköttelemässä tyttären kainalossa. Mukavaa alkanutta viikkoa!

Design articles are always guiding us into the various ways to refresh a room, let's switch it up and do the same for the garden. 1. PRUNE This is one of my clients who called asking for some pruning. On my! I personally love to prune when a major renovation is required, believing anything can be re-shaped and saved. While the crew was busy, I pulled out the shears Yes, there was an entryway and an address. 2. EDGING AND MULCH Can I say mandatory? Looks clean and fresh, represses weeds and retains moisture Look for the best mulch you can afford, preferably black and fine. We use LEAF mulch, decomposed leaves, rich, black and finely ground. When laid, any mulch will begin to decompose. As wood mulch decomposes, that process robs the soil of nutrients. As leaf mulch goes, it feeds the soil, improving it's texture and adding nutrients Unless you reside at a Shell station, this is a big NO! Ugly, and the dyes are toxic 3. Stabilize structures and paint if needed In winter climes, snow and ice takes it's toll on our structures. Examine closely for needed repairs. A fresh coat of paint does wonders! 4. Clean, and/or replace outdoor soft goods What a renaissance for outdoor pillows; the fabrics and the designs. We carry a line whose style matches any interior pillow, some with gorgeous fringe, trim and down inserts! The rug line we carry, Dash and Albert, has a tremendous outdoor collection. New for 2014 is the collaboration with Bunny Williams, above 5. Declutter It can happen.......one day you are bringing home ornamentation, the next you are in a newspaper, misguided, posing and smiling Benches, table, fountain, watering cans.......complimentary to each other and tastefully arranged. Look around, what might be redundant, in disrepair......generally employ a good edit 6. Re access your front door Charming? Massively so if you live in a cottage, in Czechoslovakia. Enter your home as a guest would, is all clean? Decluttered? In good repair and painted or stained? Outdoor lamps sparkling clean? Consider a color change, this focal point for your home can be unassuming or exciting 7. Give up on low performing plants "I hate to kill plants!" I do too. Often as a landscape designer I am both executioner and nurturer. There are times when a plant is simply "taking up space", overgrown and beyond pruning (not too often), a blob, that is it just sits there, offering little No focus, many blob type plants, all green, no stand-outs and yes, a few weeds To live in my garden, the criteria is; must be of appropriate size must be interesting most of the growing season must be a strong performer; long bloom, colorful foliage, multi-seasonal interest I'm ruthless..... This Hydrangea above is the Incrediball, in bloom from early June to frost....nice! 8. Interesting foliage? Take a close look. Have a section where there is too much green? (disregard if all green is your goal, lovely in a formal setting). Too many leaves of the same size and shape? Insert some of the colorful foliage plants and pay close attention to the shape, mixing it up. 9. Consider the addition of Annuals To me, they are the link for a garden. They perform throughout the season weaving in and out of perennials and shrubbery that have their day until next year 10. Reevaluate your containers Are they in good order? Remove old soil, which no longer has any nutrients, and refill. How about their style and size, appropriate? Charming? YES! Appropriately sized? NO, too small That's better. Take note of the terra cotta color, which pulls from the homes bricks....nice! One of our clients. When we designed the gardens, instead of a pair of urns at the front entrance, we placed oversized, statement urns in front of the two front windows. Enjoyed from inside and out, they make a statement as they are planted fresh, four times a year, celebrating each new season. Cheers! Debra

Oil on Canvas 18x26 inches A very warm, glowy painting, this. I've painted sunsets many times and said before that you have to be careful not to make them too 'twee' and chocolate-boxy. It's difficult not to actually, when you have such a painterly subject like this1 The fun bit with this, of course, is painting the sun itself and trying to portray the intense brightness shining just through the edge of the tree. Everything around the sun takes on a glow and the challenge is to get those colours and tones right. I particularly like the big shadow cast by the lone tree to the immediate left of the setting sun. This negative shape was described by painting in the golden tips of the grasses to the left and right of it. The Hogweed in the foreground wasn't there, but I felt it needed something. With the heavy focal point of the sun, it would be easy to make the painting rather lop-sided, but the dabbling activity in the water and the two Swans on the bank also added balance to the piece.
Bred right here at Jackson & Perkins by hybridizer Keith Zary, Pure Perfume Shrub Rose gets its beauty and vigor from the two Jackson & Perkins roses that were crossed to become its parents: Fabulous. x Perfume Perfection. Pure Perfume Shrub Rose is the only rose we have ever grown that smells exactly like a freshly cut grapefruit. Pure Perfume Shrub Rose takes strong fragrance to a whole new level: Pure Perfume Shrub Rose is intense and intoxicating.Pure Perfume Shrub Rose is a garden workhorse, and from the first hint of hot summer weather, this vigorous shrub begins setting masses of pointed, ovoid buds that burst into old-fashioned pure white blooms, packed with 100 elegantly cupped petals. The first flush or two are the heaviest of the season, but new buds continue to arise in waves all summer and well into fall in warmer climates.The rounded, well-branched habit and dense, lush foliage make this shrub suitable for use as a hedge, but Pure Perfume Shrub Rose is lovely in a mixed bed or border and a perfect addition to a bouquet garden as Pure Perfume Shrub Rose provides beaucoup English style blooms for seemingly endless cut arrangements.
