Garden Photos From a Connecticut Garden

Today ’s exposure are from Joseph Huot .

I am always humiliate when I catch pictures of the other GPOD referee ’ garden , and unremarkably I leave the picture taking to them . But I decide to partake pictures of what I have , since this leap has given me something worth deal . I know they bring in a grin to my human face every 24-hour interval .

The first couple of photos are of the ‘ Olga Mezitt’rhododendrons(Zones 4–8 ) grow in front of the porch . These were clearance bargain long ago and have been well deserving the prospect I take at the end - of - time of year cut-rate sale .

The abundant flowers are such a rich pink color they much do n’t take the Dominicus to smooth . I am not sure if this is unfeigned of all of these shrubs , but mine have both crimson fleeceable and green leaves starting in former fall that accent nicely during the Christmas time of year .

This photograph by the pool is of my bed withirises , day lily , anddaffodils . The irises come from various relatives , some of whom have passed , and they make it sort of a store garden to me . The bed used to moderate other flush , but we are have a rabbit problem in our suburban Connecticut garden these days , and I probably should get some fencing .

These are the climbing ‘ Zepherine Drouhin ’ rose ( Zones 5–9 ) on the back patio . This past winter was almost not a winter in our neighborhood , and these roses did not even mislay all of their leaves . They really slay the terra firma running when leaping arrived this class , and they smack even better than they await . unremarkably , I takecuttingsfor my lovely married woman , but Richmondena Cardinalis have taken up residency in the arm , and they do n’t really appreciate my comportment .

finally , I just wanted to show off the flowers on my ‘ Sugar Tyme ’ crabapple tree(Malus‘Sutyzam ’ , Zones 4–8 ) . I have more than one case ofcrabapplein my yard , but the buds and the bloom on this one are almost beyond verbal description .
