This is the first year I have ever grown columbine (on the left) and I am a big fan. The flowers are so unique I can't recall any others that look quite like them. They aren't very showy, but are special in their own way. Pincushion Flower (on the right) has some adorable qualities also. I think each flower was designed to be the perfect little landing pad for a bee or butterfly. How can you not love that?
By far though, my favorite plant in the garden right now is this Silver Sage Salvia. The leaves are enormous, and have the most wonderful fuzzy texture. I like to imagine that this variety comes from a magical dewy forest full of unicorns. (In reality - it probably originated in a sunny, arid environment- but oh well!)
We built a little garden path this weekend leading from the street to our patch of grass. It makes the whole layout a lot more welcoming to our friends and neighbors. I'd like to plant a bunch of creeping ground covers and low growing flowers around it eventually...
so pretty!

Oh my goodness, this is my first time on your blog, your home is beautiful! I dream of someday living like this. What a beautiful time of day, it so makes me miss sunset evenings outside in warm air walking barefoot on the grass.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the sweet comments! Evenings and early mornings are definitely my favorite time of day! I can't wait until the summer when the fireflies make an appearance... we don't get a ton of them at our house (because we live in the city I guess?) but I still appreciate the ones who do show up - they just make the evenings that much better!
ReplyDeletei love the new garden path!! your lawn is looking great. <3 brit tickles
