Hello gpoders!
Today, the contributor answered the summer color call in a collection of almost all shades that could be imagined. New York Hugh Rock shared some seriously colorful photos with previous submissions (celebration of the annual Hugh from the seeds, the growing plants, a close -up in the Hugh garden, etc.). He is also shared regularly on Instagram (@Hugh.lockke). With this obedience, he is deeply sneaking into an absolutely impressive border created last summer.
I have created a vivid 80 -foot flower border with West Chester with an array of first -year students and perennial plants. The photo here is from last summer.
My approach is based on a classic English flower boundary with color, texture and height gradation between heights. In addition, it is enough to accommodate various flowers located to secure continuous shows throughout the season.
One of the highlights of last summer was the orange and yellow snap dragon (Antirrhinum Majus ‘Potomac Orange’, which was grown from seeds and registered in queue).
One of the pleasures is to see what will happen by collecting various flowers. Here, the experiment was solved by the purple blue dwarf “Aloha Blue” Ageratum (Ageratum Hustonianum ‘Aloha Blue’) (Ageratum Hustonianum ‘Aloha Blue’). Similarly, Ginnia was in full bloom from left to right from left to right: “abundant double hot cherry”, “abundant double deep salmon”, “Zahaster Light rose”, and abundant apricots.
The focus of another section on the border is “Musifolia” Kanna (Kanna ‘Musifolia’, Zone 7-10). This is the highest -known variety in the world, which was the top of 8 feet in last summer. In the second half of the season, there are small red flowers, but the leaves are the best features.
White flowers can sometimes get lost, but these two are outstanding for life and some cana. Fireworks on the trumpet flower on the right.
Hugh is experimenting with Colius, and this diverse winner “Korocha Rose” (PLECTRANTHUS Scutellarioides’ Colocha Rose “, as a zone 10-11 zone) is cultivated next to Zinnias” abundant apricot “.
This image shows the color and texture range from the maximum effect. Pink Cosmos (Cosmos Bipinatus “Rosetta”, annual) and Blue Salvia (Salvia Farinacea “Victoria Blue”, Zone 8-10, or the Year) are Lacey White Yaro (Akiriami Lillium, Zone 3-99 )… Everything grows from seeds, and many perennial plants are now a few years old.
“CASA BLANCA” Oriental Yuri (Lilium “Casablanca”, Zone 5-8) steals the show against the backdrop of the violet creom (the Creom Huslerian “Violet Queen”). On the right was the many -year -old chasta dwarf (Zone 3-9 Zone), which was grown from the seeds last spring, and was happy to blossom the first year.
Another section of the border is dominated by this huge caster bean (Ricinus Communis ‘Zanzibariensis’, Zone 9-11, or the Year). The beauty of this tropical, which grew from seeds, finally reached 14 feet by the end of the season. At that time, the stem was the diameter of a small wooden trunk, and it was a big job to dig up a deep root system.
The Celosia Plumosa ‘Yachyo Hiryu, annual, is a new addition of last year and is currently on the first grade plant list.
Every year, I start the species indoors indoors in February. Most of them are first -year students, but there are several perennial plants every year (some of them are clearly two years to make a flower show). Last spring, the results were more than 350 plants in a 4 -inch pot and were ready for transplantation.
Here are a small part of my close -up flower portrait from my garden that I can see on my Instagram.
Thank you for the obedience that remains in another memory, Hugh! Many of us look at the winter gray, white, and brown scenery, the combination of your plants portraits and colorful gardens is a very necessary reminder of the warmth and color waiting for us in the second half of this year. is.
