The Queen is Dead, Long Live the Queens – Absent Gardener
https://absentgardener.com/2016/11/24/the-queen-is-dead-long-live-the-queens
The Queen is Dead, Long Live the Queens. November 24, 2016. November 24, 2016. Sometime during the winter our bee queen passed away. Seeing no brood we worried, but we read online that sometimes Italian Queens were slow to start laying in Spring. Then we saw erratic egg laying with several eggs in each cell, but we read online that this sometimes this happens with young queens. We are all looking forward to an abundant summer.

In a Vase on Monday – Ixia Giant Yellow with Columbines and Salvia – Absent Gardener
https://absentgardener.com/2016/10/31/in-a-vase-on-monday-ixia-giant-yellow-with-columbines-and-salvia
In a Vase on Monday – Ixia Giant Yellow with Columbines and Salvia. October 31, 2016. There is a wealth of purple at the moment, in fact there is a wealth of flowers in general now, as the days lengthen quickly and the soil is still wet. I considered a completely royal purple vase, with hints of regal gold, but in the end I really wanted to use the lovely giant yellow ixias, and I absolutely love the little red and yellow columbine Aquilegia canadensis. Oh, and a few perennial wallflowers, still flowerin...

In a Vase on Monday – Just Joey and Bridal Bouquet – Absent Gardener
https://absentgardener.com/2016/12/12/in-a-vase-on-monday-just-joey-and-bridal-bouquet
In a Vase on Monday – Just Joey and Bridal Bouquet. December 12, 2016. December 12, 2016. Just Joey is just such a lovely and unusual rose, and although it’s not turning into a big bush, it’s in a tough place beside the driveway, continually battling off the attentions of a purple penstemon on one side and a rosemary on the other. Not to mention the weeds and grasses. Just Joey is such an unusual colour, especially the buds which are almost parchment-like. Check out Rambling in the Garden. Your florals a...

In a Vase on Monday -English Roses and Hybrid Teas – Absent Gardener
https://absentgardener.com/2016/11/28/in-a-vase-on-monday-english-roses-and-hybrid-teas
In a Vase on Monday -English Roses and Hybrid Teas. November 28, 2016. November 28, 2016. We are visiting C’s dad and it’s colder here than at home. Because New Zealand is long and narrow North to South, travelling even a few hours by car changes the climate. It’s rainy and windy, a good day to stay inside and take photos. The distinctive bright pink colour of Gertrude Jekyll is easy to recognise, a tall English Rose with masses of flowers on upright stems and a strong fruity scent. I was going to put th...

Late to the Garden Party: May 2015
https://krispgarden.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Late to the Garden Party. Renovating an Established Garden One Step at a Time. Friday, May 29, 2015. Favorite plants shared with the bees. One of the new plants I picked up recently was Gaillardia x grandiflora 'Arizona Apricot.'. I passed by it a few times on my last visit to Roger's Gardens. There was really no good reason for me to buy it as it looks remarkably like G. aristata 'Gallo Peach,'. Gaillardia x grandiflora 'Arizona Apricot'. I previously featured G. 'Gallo Peach'. And G 'Arizona Sun,'.

MulchMaid: April 2015
http://mulchmaid.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Muckraking at Longview Ranch. Wednesday, April 22, 2015. Earth Day in the Northwest Territory. I remember the first Earth Day. I guess that dates me, but I feel privileged to have witnessed the formalization of the embrionic environmental movement on April 22, 1970. Each of the following years has brought both veneration and abuse to the earth in seeming equal amounts. It's been 45 years since that first Earth Day. Have we learned the lessons we should have? Our regional natives are happy and flowering.

http://mygardenblogs.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Gardening in Edinburgh, Scotland - a keen beginner gardener! Started to plant out my garden in March 2011. I've had successes and failures. I like to think I'm learning more as each season comes and goes. Most of all thank you for visiting - I hope you like it here! A gallery of bulbs growing around my garden. Sunday, 31 May 2015. End of Month View May 2015. I finally got round to removing the Nandini domestica Gulf Stream, it did not like this windy site at all and had looked absolutely rotten for months.
