They may not be giant lilies, but the start of their flowering season is still much anticipated. Come to Heronswood and see angel’s fishing rods (Dierama pulcherrimum) flowering now
A mixture of the curious and charming in our selection today. Giant lilies are still blooming so visit Heronswood this weekend before they finish. We’re closed on 4th of July
One of the benefits of developing our Traveler’s Garden is that it shines a spotlight on less well known parts of the garden. This fiery azalea (Rhododendron prunifolium) is native to the Alabama/Georgia border and, despite its color, has been hiding on the edge of our Woodland Garden. Now it can take center stage, at least for a week or two
It felt like a white flower day today. Visit Heronswood this weekend, open 9am to 3pm
It’s twinflower season and many taxonomists have a soft spot for this circumboreal honeysuckle relative. In Latin, it’s Linnaea borealis, named for the father of taxonomy, Carl Linnaeus. For me, it’s also a reminder of home as it occurs in both my native home, Scotland and my adopted one, Washington #linnaeaborealis #twinflower
Urgh! The bullfrogs are back! This invasive amphibian from eastern North America tends to eat our native frogs, so is not a welcome guest
We’re midway through Pride Month 2022 so enjoy this rainbow of flowers and the diverse community of gardeners who tend them
