As you might have guessed from my absence, I haven't been spending much time in my home garden recently, but that doesn't mean I haven't been gardening at all.
The Flower Garden at Wave Hill is the area I for which am responsible and it keeps me quite busy through the week.
I usually limit my posts to the garden I created myself at home, but since I spend so much time maintaining this other beautiful garden, I thought you might like to see it.
This garden changes all the time and there are so many lovely plants and viewpoints that I can only begin to show you what it's like. This is a brief overview from photos I took over the last few weeks.
We grow lots of interesting non-hardy plants in pots and arrange them in various places throughout the garden.
We have a great collection of dahlias. One of my new favorites, gorgeous orange 'Ludwig Helfert' is blooming profusely next to Hosta plantaginea.
Another pretty new dahlia I added this year has the stupidest cultivar name: 'Outta da Blue.'
'Japanese Bishop' is a definite favorite with its dark foliage and stunning red-orange blooms.
'Stoneleigh Cherry' and 'Glen Place' have similar colored pom shaped flowers.
'Yellow Hammer' and 'Purple Gem'
'Marie Schnugg' has what they call a cactus type bloom.
Another zinnia: 'Benary's Giant Lime.' I grew this to add whites to this bed which features a large, wonderful Hydragea paniculata 'Tardiva.'
This great little buddleja globosa grows in a bed with yellow foliage plants.
We planted this fan palm in our Silver bed with other silver leaved items.
