Pot ‘em up!
Don’t you love the lush and colorful plantings of summer flowering bulbs? Often I see something like this (left), blooming in the summer and which I’d thought to plant these lily bulbs, but then I realize it’s not too late. I can have this whenever I find them blooming at the garden center!

Cercis season – Redbuds

Cornus Kousa, Kousa Dogwood – 2011 Showstopper Plant
The Kousa dogwood is a small statued tree with four seasons of interest. This Chinese dogwood blooms in May, nearly a month after our native dogwood, and has long lasting, showy flowers, often blooming into June. Green, globular, edible fruits turn pink during the summer, then slowly turning a red in September. When ripe, the fruit is readily eaten by birds. Continue reading
