The camassias in our local Garry oak meadow are here!! The bees are very happy. This year I was supposed to be in a friendly competition with @monicadockerty and @seaviewslope over whose favourite meadow was best; we had field trips scheduled and imp
Beth’s Poppy has self sown in the sand pit. Each flower only lasts a day or two but they’re each so perfect.
The local Garry oak meadow is picking up steam! No camassias in flower yet but they are budding up.
Bulb time currently moving much faster than quarantime. Following fast on the heels of Tulipa turkestanica is T. ‘Shogun.’ Also enjoying tiny little Pulsatilla vulgaris which were sown as part of the seed mix just over a year ago.

Raspberry Crema: A Garden Preview for the August Bride

February 06, 2015

Winter is the time to plan; weddings and also the cutting garden. There are thousands of options out there for both and many considerations that must be made. I thought I would post some of my guiding palettes in hopes that you also find some inspiration from the colours and textures of the natural world. 

The first palette is one I'm really excited about - I call it raspberry crema. This is for the bride that is drawn to vintage gowns and sophisticated sparkle. Neutrals are perennially popular but I love adding some pop with a darker undertone. 

This year I will be growing, from top left: Julia's Rose, Phlox 'Crème Brûlée', Dahlia 'Aurora's Kiss', and some silvery astrantia. If you're an August bride, these would make a gorgeous bouquet!
