(dead) moss | theharmoniousgarden

https://theharmoniousgarden.wordpress.com/2014/02/16/dead-moss

February 16, 2014. Last weekend I stumbled across the most stunning preserved moss wall. My friend and I were in Milan for a mini-break to see Da Vinci’s. And climb the roof of the famous Duomo. Wow Both experiences left us with a strange tingly feeling, and definitely lived up to our expectations. It rained heavily the entire weekend, and it was while going from one shelter to the next that this bright green wall caught my attention. It was inside a design store called Sicis. The moss wall is VERY impre...

October in the Garden – Grey Tabby Gardens

https://greytabbygardens.com/2016/10/29/october-in-the-garden

Growing Flowers in Central Florida. October in the Garden. October 29, 2016. It’s so lovely to feel a chill in the air in the early mornings, a sign that our heat and humidity are past and we can look forward to cooler and drier days. Here and there are a few signs of autumn. A few of my orchids which live outside most of the summer under the shade of some trees are starting to flower. This one looks a fitting color with the lichens, silver bark and air plant. Plumbago is just that perfect shade of blue!

Looking Forward – Grey Tabby Gardens

https://greytabbygardens.com/2016/01/31/looking-forward

Growing Flowers in Central Florida. January 31, 2016. September 25, 2016. As we were close to a frost twice this week, they suddenly all decided to drop their leaves and the lawn now looks very autumnal! I have really been loving the Hyacinths. Even before they are fully up and open they are so pretty. I heven tucked a few into a few little mercury glasses. Even just one gives of such a powerful fragrance. I have added some silver birch twigs into the pots too because Tulips tend to get a bit floppy....

Splashes of Color – Grey Tabby Gardens

https://greytabbygardens.com/2016/02/20/splashes-of-color

Growing Flowers in Central Florida. February 20, 2016. September 25, 2016. Our rather upside down winter and early spring have contributed to some unexpected color combinations in the garden this week. I’m not sure if I should be embarrassed by them or if I should just enjoy them while they last! Even the cardinals are adding pops of color amongst the flowers. Bees are everywhere enjoying the new flowers…. On the Mystic Spires Salvia…. The container plants…. I enjoyed two big sprays from La Marne rose in...

The All Purple Sweet Potato. Purple Sweet Potato Slips. All Purple Sweet Potato Leaves. Bees enjoy the flowers of the All-Purple. One of the few roots growing near the surface of the ground.

The Scientific Gardener: Purple Hyacinth Bean

http://scientificgardener.blogspot.com/2012/08/purple-hyacinth-bean.html

Friday, August 10, 2012. My initial encounter with the Purple Hyacinth Bean (Lablab purpureus) came while doing some research into heat tolerant beans online. Supposedly, Thomas Jefferson happened to have this plant as a flower within his garden. I later read more about this bean variety in the. And decided it was worth a try. One of my Purple Hyacinth Bean plants after about 3-4 weeks. The Purple Hyacinth Bean Blossom is pink or purple. From the top of my metal shed temperatures exceed 107 F. How a vege...

Red House Garden: What Was I Thinking?!

http://www.redhousegarden.com/2015/07/what-was-i-thinking.html

Gardening in my new digs in zone 6a outside of Boston, MA. Saturday, July 25, 2015. What Was I Thinking? Let's file this under the category 'What was I thinking? Like when I decided that I wanted to go to college somewhere where it snowed. (Though I'll chalk that up to fate, since I met Mr. Red House there.) Or like that outfit that I wore quite a bit that was entirely orange and made me look like a pumpkin. (Yeah. can't really chalk that one up to fate.). That's a whole other level. By the way, if anyon...

Tissue Paper Cards – Created by Jess

https://createdbyjess.wordpress.com/2014/08/24/tissue-paper-cards

A place to share my creative side. I’ve been so busy going to school for the last two years that my crafting adventures have been put on hold. Well, I just finished my internship this week and that means I’m completely done! I’m not ready to jump back into crafting just yet, but I made some cute cards this morning and thought I’d share them with you. Every time I go to Cost Plus World Market. Supplies you will need. Smooth out the paper with your brayer. The next step is trimming off the excess edges&#46...
