| Dogwood tree (Cornus florida) with azaleas. When I planted the dogwood, it was just a foot tall. |
 |
| Candystripe phlox (Phlox subulata)that I planted three years ago. This year some of the flowers in the middle are all-pink. |
 |
| Lettuce, peas and kale I like to grow my veggies all mixed together. |
 |
| Wild columbine (Aquilegia canadensis) and Jacob's ladder (Polemonium reptans). I bought the Jacob's ladder from the Native Plant Center sale at WCC two years ago. Last year I scattered columbine seeds that I had collected next to the Jacob's ladder. I love the combination! |

Love the Columbine and Jacob's Ladder combo! What gorgeous complements.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It makes me smile every time I see it. We now have some purple columbine blooming too and joining the mix!
ReplyDeleteColumbine is my favorite flower. I had one show up in my garden a few years ago and every year it drops seed and I get a few more plants. Thank you for sharing on Green Thumb Thursday.
ReplyDeleteYes, columbine is one of my favorite flowers too! Isn’t it neat how a single plant can gradually turn into a nice little cluster of columbine! I love collecting some seeds and scattering them in places that that could use a few columbines blooming.
DeleteLovely. I grew up in NY state (Syracuse) but didn't garden there. I'm in Seattle now and have a ton of PNW natives—many western columbines.Visit my blog at www.thegreenqueenofmod.com to learn about native plants on the other side of the country!
ReplyDeleteI just took a look at your blog. Your western natives are beautiful!
DeleteYour garden is beautiful! Columbine is one of my favorite flowers. It's just so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks Amanda! It's one of my favorites too! I've been out in the garden collecting columbine seed and tossing it around so I'll have columbine in more areas of the garden next year.
