Ah, Sorticulture, a garden art festival in a beautiful park on a sunny day, sweet fragrance of Linden trees in bloom wafting through the air, live music, and garden art everywhere. Who could ask for anything more.
How about a really nice selection of plants? Here are just a few of the many wonderful offerings.
Enbothrium coccinea (Chilean flame tree) is best started as a seedling. These will grow quickly.
Echeveria 'Blue Atoll'
Quercus alnifolia, an evergreen oak with golden indumentum.
Love those marbled leaves!
Acer palmatum 'Rainbow'
Some fabulous Sarracenia hybrids.
If you forgot to plant lilies earlier...
Want to make hummingbirds happy? Plant lots of salvia!
Got roses?
I meant to buy a locally-grown bouquet for Monday's vase but forgot to grab one on the way out.
For a list of vendors and nurseries go here. A post about some of the art will come soon.
