So, the other day, with a freak show of a snow storm, I took myself over to the not-so-secret-garden @edwardsgreenhouse. Acting like a kid in a candy shop, I ran from one clematis beauty to another. Here is a small sample of what I saw.

Play it as it lays. This Tulip 'Blushing Lady' - simply lovely in decline. Swan like stems and petals.

I am a complete and total FOOL for jewel box colors. This little beauty was tucked in the ground against the warm rusted metal last fall as a last ditch effort to overwinter it. Look at how it thanks me! Such joy, and at least a couple weeks earlier than any of the other delospermas/iceplants in the garden. Delosperma 'Granita Raspberry'.

I'm having a "moment" when I am just knocked over by the beauty of these species tulips. I think the pink one is Tulipa cretica Hilde, and I am not sure about the spicy red/orange variety. I am getting a kick out of them.

Coming in a few days! A must-have for all garden lovers, artists, people who love beautiful things. Mother's Day? Wherever books are sold. Order up NOW. From my review for @slowflowerssociety : Gardeners, flower farmers, floral stylists, and artists of every type know in their souls that color is a many-faceted notion. At the same time, many of us have difficulty describing particular colors and use a form of "color shorthand" to talk about blossoms and our work. After a "100 day" daily practice became a multi-year practice, Color in and Out of the Garden (Lorene Edwards Forkner, Abrams, $24.99) was born. For Lorene, it has become a meditative ritual about paying attention and learning to see - if only for a few minutes every day.

Found another collage I did for a talk I gave a few years ago. If you can't read the names of the plants, let me know, and I'll add them.

On a roll now! I started putting together design collages for my presentation at the Boise Flower & Garden Show last Friday. Someone asked me to make a couple more. Here is one the is so drought tolerant. Be extremely cautious with the ornamental grass if you are near a wildfire prone area. In fact, substitute Sedum 'Matrona'. Clockwise from top left: Delosperma 'Alan's Apricot', Echium 'Red Feathers', Delosperma 'Jewel of the Desert Garnet." Most are Plant Select (TM).

It was a good day out there in the garden. Signs of spring everywhere. If you don't have armloads of hellebores in your garden (they thrive in dry SHADE), you are missing out. Yes, they are expensive, but barter/trade/get a couple each year. Next thing you know, you will have a LOT.
