The Obsessive Neurotic Gardener

  • About me
Posted on March 6, 2013 by jmarkowski Posted in Uncategorized .
As promised yesterday, today’s post is all about the plants/flowers from the Philadelphia Flower Show.  
Sure, I was impressed by all the glitz and glamour and the display gardens, but when it comes down to it, give me the plants and I’m a happy man. 
Here are some of the individual plants that caught my eye:  
Some day I’ll give Clematis a try

Iris ‘Violet Beauty’ color is off the charts

And some of the combos or vignettes that stood out:

Heuchera ‘Blackout’ (which I own) and white rose. Must replicate 

Astilbe love

Who needs flowers?
Now the challenge is to look at my own barren landscape and not get too depressed after ogling all of the blooms at the Flower Show.

    Janet – the colors were almost overwhelming considering all we have is brown here right now.

    Maggie – thanks for finding your way here! It was a pretty phenomenal show.

    Shenandoah – I missed the storms and luckily it is only about an hour car ride for me.

    Deborah – Wow! I’m totaaly stealing the term fabulushous.

    Tootsie – I am going to make it a point to link to FF in the very near future.
