The Lush deserves its due as a garden in its own right. After ten years, the planted trees, shrubs and large perennials have gained enough substance to rise among the meadows. Another layer of garden was added.

On Chicory Mornings
By the time the chicory is in bloom the meadows have reached close to full height. Bloom will make things a bit taller. This is the time of vegetation. The change is profound.
A cozy cabin nestled in a wild garden.
Go wander in the Lush in the time of vegetation. There is a beautiful garden out there.

Hi Christopher: The perennials’ emerging growth is just as lovely as the actual flower. I do like the Joe Pie and the Buckeye Bottlebrush (BB in photo #8 was a guess on my part). What’s the bush with the pale yellow flower in picture #10? The green of the leaves contrasting with the pale yellow is lovely. Then you come to the day lily and the color just smacks you in the face, doesn’t it. We’re waiting for the storm to arrive as we need the rain. Repeatedly hot days and windy conditions sure suck the moisture up quickly. Warm regards, Gypsy
Gypsy I have gotten bad about naming plants over the years. My focus has shifted a bit to seeing the garden as a whole living thing more in texture and form. The plants matter of course in making that happen. The pale yellow blooming shrub in picture #10 is the last to bloom -July- highly fragrant 'Lemon Drop' deciduous azalea.
And yes that is Bottlebrush Buckeye.
Hi Christopher: I here you about remembering the names of plants and appreciate your naming it for me. It is so pretty and that the azalea flowers in the summer was of interest to me.
Yesterday we got a day of much needed rain from Tropical Whatever Elsa. It's gonna be a sultry the next couple of days. Warm regards, Gypsy
Wow, things have really grown up in those 10 years! You should be immensely proud of yourself; I have been following for that entire time and it's a spectacular result. Of interest I recently had to drop caffeine entirely due to irregular heartbeat and now drink pure chicory. It's surprisingly good, when you have no alternative!
Finally. It takes ten years in this environment for plants to show substantial growth. It feels like I have reached a new stage of fine tuning and infilling the garden. It's substance keeps accumulating. I gave up half my coffee. Felt like it was eating my stomach. Maybe I should switch to chicory.
