The Garden Paths #5:
Sidewalk
|
This sidewalk runs along the west side of the house, seen here facing south, in March. That cloud of white flowers over the yellow daffodils is a shadblow serviceberry bush. |
|
Here it is on the same day but facing north. March (2005) was the very last month I could photograph the white picket fence, because at month's end I began taking down the fence & replacing it with a short stacked-stone ledge so that the garden can be be more fully appreciated & easily accessed from both sides. |
|
The sidewalk stroll changes every month, even every week. Here, facing south in May (2004), is a spot in the sun-garden with Rhododendron 'Jean Marie' in full display. |
|
The sidewalk again, this time in April (2005), after part of the picket fence seen in the first photo above has by this time been replaced by a short brick wall for a raised bed. The 'Jean Marie' rhody isn't yet blooming, but its sister-seedling & close look-alike 'America' is, & so is the 'Mother's Day' Azalea equally red. |
