treeskinI failed my saving throw versus child's wheedling at the store, and came homme with two pots of pansies and a 1-gal pot of violas. Now The Miss has flowers in the yard again, and she is very cheerful about that.
In my defense, they were all on clearance. And I left the $5 clearance roses behind.
I also came home with a dozen each "D. Wilden" and "Orangery" daffodils. "D. Wilden" is all yellow, and double, which will make The Miss happy. Those are planted along the south end of the new bed, just east of (and partially under) the weeping peach. "Orangery" has a white corolla and an amber-orange split cup (sometimes sold as a butterfly daffodil). That bunch is planted at the north west corner of the new bed, in three clumps along the path that leads past my outdoor altar.
I am contemplating more daffodils in that part of the garden. And maybe more of the yummy orangy "Gypsy Queen" hyacinths.
