Here are just a few of the current blooms in my zone 6b garden. Check out all of the Bloom Day posts at May Dreams Gardens.
This month’s Picture This Photo Contest at Gardening Gone Wild is on Ornamental Grasses. I have two confessions to make: first, there was a time when I didn’t think I liked ornamental grasses, and second, I rarely focus on them as photographic subjects.
After an unexpected visit to the Cutler Botanic Garden in Binghamton, New York, where they have a wonderful garden dedicated to them, the beauty of ornamental grasses finally dawned upon me. Now, I have about a dozen of various sorts incorporated into several of my gardens. Of these, my favorite is Miscanthus sisnesis ‘Adagio’ which is located on Goldberry Hill, the Front Border, and Lilac Hill.
They are photogenic, but perhaps I overlook them because they don’t have flowers. Yes, they are too large to exclude from pictures of different gardens, but no, I never stop to take a close-up or a picture focused on them. So, here’s my first shot (pun intended).
