The weather has been amazing and it is kicking everything into high gear. On Sunday afternoon a group of us went down into a patch of Dixter's woods and saw mass plantings of the native Anemone nemerosa with scatterings of early bluebells (hyacinthiodes non-scripta).

Fritillaria meleagris in a small meadow behind the topiary garden
Erythronium dens-canis in the same meadow
Scilla bithynica with Arum italicum as seen in the Barn Garden
It's so amazing to see these all naturalized so wonderfully. I'm always amazed by those Fritillaria meleagris...it hardly seems possible for such a pattern to be natural...just astounding!
ReplyDeleteWonderful combination in Scilla bithynica and Arum italicum. Love the anemone wood; hard to believe that they are blooming here in PA also... in March!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading more this week~
