Green on Green - Textures and Mounds
This image from mid-July capture the garden at a moment when there are not a lot of blooms. In the foreground, the bottlebrush buckeye (Aesculus parvifora) will soon bloom. Quite of few of the plants in the this garden were there when the garden was created and through the years it has been shaped by editing out unwanted things and adding many other. The little group of quacking aspens with the native plantain at its feet are examples of beautiful originals that have a nice presence after a little human intervention. The hay-scented ferns are very nice in places but have to be beat back on a regular basis.
