Skyler of Tangly Cottage Gardening invited Rhody and me back to tour her garden while Rhody and I were already vacationing in Washington. As usual, I left with a few goodies from the garden. Skooter was still confined to his home as he recovers from an earlier injury.
1. Euphorbia mellifera, honey spurge is my best guess for the identity of this perennial. I could have asked but did not think of it at the time. I am quite certain that it is a spurge.
2. Ficaria verna ‘Brazen Hussy’ lesser celandine is a relatively docile garden cultivar of a potentially weedy species. I can remember when it was popular in the 1990s and 2000s.
3. Tulipa spp., tulip was blooming next to the Canoe Garden. It seems to have a red edge or picotee. I took a picture of small cat tails in the Canoe Garden, but it was out of focus.
4. Muscari armeniacum, grape hyacinth is one of my favorite perennials. It is so reliable and resilient. Apparently, dwarf cat tails were not the only subject that was out of focus.
5. Narcissus spp., daffodil were probably the most prominent flowers while Rhody and I were here. I believe that this was the most abundant sort. Some bloomed in broad drifts.
6. Pulmonaria officinalis, lungwort of various cultivars was also abundant. I had already acquired blue, white and pink cultivars. Now I acquired this purple and pinkish cultivar.

Because we do not get out to tour other gardens, it is quite an outing for Rhody and me.

A great selection! The tulip with the red edge is particularly special – I’ve never seen one quite like that.

Yes, and is must be even better later in the year. I get there at the end of winter.

Yes, it looks like Euphorbia mellifera to me. That’s a pretty tulip and I love daffodils with reflexed petals.

I believe that is what Skyler said it was. I just do not remember. There is so much in that garden.

That Euphorbia is really unique. I don’t remember seeing that species before, but it’s probably not hardy in my climate. Love it! We do, however have Pulmonaria officinalis here, and I’m very fond of its foliage and beautiful pink to blue to violet blooms.

Yes, I saw pulmonaria there a few years ago, and just acquired it last year. Although white is my favorite color, this pulmonaria excels at purple and blue. The purple is mixed with a bit of pink. (I do not remember if it blooms pink and fades to purple or blooms purple and fades to pink.)

I like all six today Tony, as I recognize them all and grow almost all of them. Pulmonaria is a bit slow to start here after the winter, but I have some in flower already too – the bees love it. And I like the spurge – they have such pretty foliage as well as the flowers.

Pulmonaria looks so easy in this particular garden, although I am told that it dies back in the summer. I am pleased to try it here.

I found some wild Pulmonaria this week out in the woods. Quite a revelation! 😁
