Green Is A Color

Summer blooms arrive later high on the low spot. The month of June tends to be the green lull between the high points of late spring and mid-summer.

Green is a color though, a distinctly different one from the greys and browns of the long barren time.

The gardens I tend during the day are well on their way to high summer bloom. That is what the clients want, color, flowers, pretty. I make more of an effort for continuous bloom for them than I do for myself.

I come home to green calm. I'm more than good with that.

There is structure in my green. There is texture.

My green says garden. In many ways a garden's true merit is better seen in just plain green.

I do have a lot of white right now. Several iterations of Hydrangea arborescens are in full bloom along with the Oakleaf Hydrangea.

White is green.

Green will turn silver. Green is good.
