Or so the sign says. Let's investigate, shall we?
Good advice!
Oh yes, packed full of plants of all kinds!
I love the Sempervivums with webbing like this but for some reason, they seldom last long in my garden while the furless varieties thrive.
Oh the sunlight through these iris leaves. These always remind me of my visit to Chava's garden where they grow beautifully.
Oh, to have space for another rhododendron. 'Fire Rim' is a beauty!
This visit took place in mid April and bulbs were still in full swing.
One of the things I love about Kathy's Corner is that the shade plants are displayed in the shade of some rather fabulous old trees so you really get the feel of the plant in natural shade conditions.
Oh my, yes, I'd say the sign is quite accurate!
Table after table of veggie starts.
Smoldering foliage of Gold Flame Spirea. Hardy to zone 3!
Aeonium 'Kiwi' is such a pretty thing. I envy those California gardeners who can grow this, and so many other succulents in the ground.
Let's sneak into the growing areas (I got permission) and get a glimpse of the future. I love that these houses are full of both new plants just starting their lives and also some of Kathy's personal collection.
Lots of strings of pearls!
A new pelargonium with white variegated leaves. These will be fun!
Just a dahlia but ain't she sweet?
Of course the Garden Geeks label made me take a second look. Senecio candicans 'Angel Wings' was perfectly hardy for me here in a pot above ground.
Epiphyllum in bloom....sigh.
Rat tail cactus.
Billbergia nutans
Through greenhouse magic (and generous applications of water soluble fertilizer) these will soon be sumptuous hanging baskets o' beauty.
If you just believe, there's always an agave!
A few orchids.
Plugs of a lovely heuchera.
Clematis somethingorother.
Kathy's also stocks a lot of great and somewhat unusual annuals. Next time you're on the island, make sure you stop by and see for yourself.
Happy weekend all and happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!
