Flowers Before Bloom Day

Today was the pre-tour of all the gardens for the garden owners and volunteers. You'll have to wait a week for that post. I don't want to spoil the surprise for anyone planning to come on the tour.

The wild cultivated gardens were looking lovely today. They are no surprise on this blog.





















Thermopsis villosa/caroliniana, Carolina Lupine has come into bloom.






















I planted out four new ones last week. They were grown from seed last fall and survived the winter in their little four inch pots. I've also tossed seed out there in the Lush. I could come across others eventually.





















An arrangement with Kniphofia.





















The self sowers are welcome by my front steps.




























It's getting there. A low mounding tapestry of texture and color is becoming more evident.





















I'll keep editing.





















My energy vortex transmitter/receiver got a few comments today. Chuckle.



























And next Saturday there could be hundreds of visitors wondering and wandering.

Looking fabulous! Can't wait to be there in person. So many gorgeous flowers and lush greenery. Hope the pre-tour went well.

Oh, OH! I need to figure out where to install an energy vortex transmitter/receiver here!

(Your lush reminds me of the trail my husband and I walked yesterday....)

Can't wait for the photos next week!

I like the bottles in the ground like this. Everything looks ready for tourists. Energy on...
