No visit to Vashon Island is complete without stopping by Kathy's Corner Nursery. For more information about the nursery and it's owner, both island institutions, see previous posts here. Today, I'll just share some of what caught my eye on a recent visit.
Mum's the word this time of year.
Beautiful as chrysanthemums are, Asters tug at my heart even more.
Some of summer's glory still lingers in annual baskets still blooming like there's no tomorrow.Weeping willows provide a great area for the shade tolerant perennials and shrubs.
A box of sempervivum.
I got to venture into the growing houses. These weren't labeled but aren't they cool?
Great pairing of Canna 'Intrigue' and Begonia 'Fireflush' I've got the canna but killed my 'Fireflush' by giving it too much water. I vow not to let this begonia meet the same fate.
Once again, I'm grateful to live in an area where we have so many great nurseries that are open year round and where we can enjoy something in bloom every month of the year in our gardens. Happy weekend everyone. I hope you are able to get outside and garden!
