Forget taxes. If you haven't done them yet, file for an extension. The garden is MUCH more important today.
So here are a few plants blooming in the GardenTrip's garden this month, with apologies for a couple of repeat bloomers from last week's post.
Evergreen huckleberry, loaded with blooms. Karen from
Greenwalks asked if I fertilize them: I do, with some mild, naturally derived pellets I get from a great local Portland company,
Concentrates.
Eddie's White Wonder dogwood is a beautiful, stately tree, even as a youngster. The pale green blossoms are growing larger and whiter every day.
The last few flowers on
Arctostaphylos 'Austin Griffiths'.
Arctostaphylos 'Martha Ewan' is just beginning to bloom. And it has the loveliest gray-green, slightly fuzzy leaves.
Last,
Loropetalum chinense 'Sizzling Pink' is covered with cute, strappy pink flowers. In the GardenTrip's garden of many Northwest natives with their quiet, small spring blooms, this pretty and unusual flower really stands out.
