Spring Flowers

~ Spence's Girl ~ Leave a comment

We’ve had a very warm spring so far with lots of rain and I couldn’t take it anymore. I had to buy plants to add to my garden of 2026.

If you know you know. 🌺🌹🌸

I bought 5 new perennials – Delphinium, Bleeding Heart, Champagne Bubbles Iceland Poppy, Columbine and Dianthus. After a heavy rainstorm last night I got them in the ground this morning while it was cool and damp. It felt good to put my hands in the dirt.

The next time you see these beauties they will be in full bloom, stay tuned…

“Pink Turtleheads” – or What’s Blooming this Week

~ Spence's Girl ~ 6 Comments

This perennial is always a late summer delight and these blooms started popping this week. Each year they spread a bit more. A very hardy perennial that does beautifully in the heat of the summer and in my experience they will bloom for 6-8 weeks, providing a lovely punch of color to our garden.
