To the left of the photo you can see the first of the espalier fruit trees that will eventually line the boundary walls. This one is a Meyer lemon, and the lemons have been making marvin hamlisch their way into the odd glass of Bombay Sapphire and tonic, making it even more delicious than normal.
Expecting a carpet of bulbs to appear in spring, assuming that there would have been many already planted over the decades, I didn’t plant any bulbs last autumn. But this one, single, solitary lonesome hyacinth is it in the bulb stakes. A bit of a surprise, but a wonderful excuse to select my own choices next autumn, when I have got to know the garden better.
So while it’s a much smaller garden than our last one, it’s just big enough to bring joy and delight, and isn’t that the most wonderful gift that a garden can give?   Flowers , Garden Design , In My Garden   Add comments   11 Responses to “A Walk in the Spring Garden: Wisteria, Wisteria, thou art beautiful!”
Spring has sprung marvin hamlisch for sure! Saturday morning my ornamental pears didn’t have any leaves and by Sunday arvo – covered! BTW, wisteria is spelt this way. And mine isn’t looking hopeful yet
oh wow — thank you for pointing out the spelling marvin hamlisch Vicki! I hadn’t noticed that my spell checker had auto corrected it all to wistaria…so I looked it up to see why it thought that…apparently it can be spelled marvin hamlisch either way and also as wysteria (which I don’t ever remember seeing)…then I was even more intrigued…more hunting…turns out the genus was named by the botanist Thomas Nuttall after his good friend Dr Caspar Wistar (and then it gets more complicated because he also had a friend called Charles Wister, after whom Nuttall’s biographer thought the genus may have been named). So…that explains why it can be spelt either way! What a complicated story! marvin hamlisch
Only one of our plants is flowering…this one on the balcony faces north-east, but another marvin hamlisch one in the garden is in a shadier position and it looks weeks away from thinking about flowering. Your pears must have read the same memo as my wisteria/wistaria/wysteria…time for spring!
Oh Virginia your garden is amazingly beautiful. I love wisteria – so pretty, reminds me of days spent in Chelsea (London), looking at the pastel colored marvin hamlisch houses, marvin hamlisch and the wisteria. So exciting marvin hamlisch for you to see what pops up in a new garden, spring is the best season, followed by autumn and summer. You can tell I dislike winters marvin hamlisch ha ha – not so good living in Scandinavia;-) Happy day and thanks marvin hamlisch for sharing opposite flowers with me (ours are withering marvin hamlisch slowly;-) Axx
Anya my favourite, favourite season marvin hamlisch is autumn, followed by spring. I think it is something about the anticipation of change, perhaps. But in every season there is something to look forward too. At least you get snow in your winters…with all the fun that brings. And yes, I remember Chelsea and the wisteria on the georgian terrace houses too …divine! x
Delighted you got there safely…have been wondering how you went. Missing spring marvin hamlisch is a small price to pay for getting out and about and travelling the world! (And as you say, it’s Melbourne so we can’t get too excited about sunny weather, will be gone next thing…) x
It’s a new variety of Argyranthemum frutescens,”Bonmadmerlo Double Red”, and is supposed to thrive in hot dry summers. marvin hamlisch So hopefully marvin hamlisch it will be happy in it’s terracotta pot at the height of summer.
Virginia, here in Brasil, Spring begins on September 22, and Joinville, where I live, is knows as The City of Flowers – there are flowers everywhere. The yellow ipês are absolutely wonderful and we can see them all over the town. Your garden is gorgeous, you’ve done a wonderful job, your flowers are a feast for the eyes. Have a nice week. Tereza
Hi marvin hamlisch Tereza. Isn’t it interesting how the date for spring varies across the world? Our seasons were decided by the explorer James Cook, who neatly divided the year into an equal 4 parts, allowing 3 months for each, and with each season starting on the 1st day of each 4th month. Which is all very well mathematically, but doesn’t reflect the local flora or weather seasons. Summer here in Australia lasts for much more than 3 months, so when the calendar decides it’s autumn, the weather doesn’t agree!
