It's a Blooming Tuesday

One of the two old urns that grace the front steps

Rhododendron 'Catabiense album'
This one is well over eight feet tall, I started it as a cutting back in 1975
Rhododendron 'Vulcan'
One of the few nursery bought Rhodie's ( 1995 )

Blooming Viburnum Tomentosum or Doublefile Viburnum
Successfully screens CCL the Crazy Cat Ladies yard from view....Meeeeow!

Clematis Montana 'Marjorie'
A smallish flower but a favorite, planted on the front porch rail.

And some fresh blooms in the greenhouse
Vanda 'Murphy's Gold'

From the greenhouse to the Sunroom, this Epicactus 'Padre'. It has a light fragrance but the flowers are so big.

  1. Love your diplay of flowers in the old urns, so timeless and welcoming.
    I have no Viburnums but would love to try growing some, the Clematis is a gorgeous shade, and quite unusaul.
    You have a green thumb my friend.

  6. Rob,
    When we are going to have a bad winter I usually cover them in bubble wrap. Wouldn't want to lose them after all these years.
