While It Is Still Barren

I am contemplating the low mounding tapestry of evergreen texture and color that sweeps across the slope below the cozy cabin. Specifically I am wanting to extend it to the left side of the slope. There are baby evergreen plants there now that are not so visible yet. I still need more.

I need more Yucca filamentosa 'Color Guard' and I am settling on the color silver blue. Now I just need to find a low spreading evergreen that is silver blue. Something like this Picea pungens 'Glauca Globosa'. I want them and I want to plant them soon so they will be there for the barren time next year.

The only trouble is I might dig up something else I planted that isn't awake yet and I can't see. Maybe I can wait a few more weeks. Or not.

Then I contemplated the new crocus ring. It turned out pretty thick for a sack of leftovers. It must have been a big sack that Bulbarella ordered.

It's a species tulip circle too.

When I found the first patch of Negrita tulips I knew another clump had to be some where. I rarely plant one of anything. I sort of remembered planting more on the other side of the driveway.

Here they are. They just weren't directly across, but about ten feet further down. I walked by this countless times and never thought to look for them there.

I walk the garden with my nose pressed to the ground looking, looking for waking life. The baby Oconee Bell is looking good. I see three flower buds so far. The plant seems to be a slow grower, but it has grown to have three crowns.

The daffodils are coming. It won't be long now.
