The most important work we can do, individually and globally, is the healing and prevention of traumas so that we don't pass them down to future generations. This blog is a working tool to contribute to this good work.
April 10, 2012 – Adobe Peace Garden in its budding for this new season — it is slightly overcast today – and I don’t know how to change any settings on this camera I have now – not sure this one has the best color — the here’s the garden nearly read to BLOOM!
Surprise bloom on ivy I started last year in the adobe planter - found the slip in Old BisbeeYellow one is fakeMexican Primrose - west side of house - sis Cindy gave me those onions there toward back of picSnap dragon buds(those yellow ones are fake!)Snapdragons, slow to open - too many surprise freezes this spring?
Buds buds buds - white snaps - with Texas Ranger and Mexican PrimroseThe little yellow ones have been blooming since Feb., will bloom until November - a native plant, as is the purple behind it - the crawler to the left is Hummingbird Mint - behind it a nearly wild roseNew weeds are appearing as the garden is aging - no idea what this is, but I really like itOne of these days I will ask the garden man at our new local ACE what the name of this plant is (new in this spot) - I really liked the one I bought last year. This will have tall thin long spindly stems with tiny light pink flowers on the ends - blooms all summer once it startsNew Alaskan Daisy - new to the garden last spring - roots have grown, plant has grown - nearly ready to bloom!More snaps (over wintered) - nearly blooming - my favorite wine color - with Texas Ranger - the tall stalk on right is a yellow Bird of Paradise sis Cindy brought meSecond year for the artichoke - other wine died - will it feed me this year?A nearly wild rose - pink when it blooms - it is gorgeous!First roses on a nearly wild - hope this plant grows MUCH bigger in its 2nd yearI am letting the yellow go to seed some - to spread around - this one is a keeper!
