Today's post doesn't have a specific theme. As I was going through my photos I found a few that I just wanted to share with you.
This is a close up of Ricinus communis (Castor Bean), a highly poisonous plant but oh so beautiful!
A shot in the herb garden at Bridge Gardens in Bridgehampton NY. Don't know how I missed this one when writing about it the other day!
Another close-up shot of an herb, this time it's Borage which I've grown in my own garden many times and miss desperately now!
What a great color combination! The bean is a Hyacinth bean (to see what I'm going in my own garden with Hyacinth beans hop over to my Old Country Gardens blog). The other flower is a Clematis but I don't know the variety name.
Final shot, another great color combination! I love the dusky purple Sedum combined with the hot bloom on the daylily 'Open Hearth' and the foamy chartreuse blooms on the Alchemilla mollis (ladies mantle).
Ok, out to the garden to water some more...wouldn't it be nice to have gentle showers from 2:00am until 4:00am? A gardeners dream :-)
Ciao!
