https://smallsunnygarden.blogspot.com/2015/08/a-wildflower-for-wednesday.html
A Small, Sunny Garden. A small garden in the English style, set in the wilds of the northern Sonora Desert. Bibliography and Inspirational Material. Wednesday, August 12, 2015. A Wildflower for Wednesday. This has had its influence on me too. I have been known to indulge in the dubious (from a gardening perspective) practice of leaving a wildling to grow "to find out what it is". Generally, it was not something to be recommended for a civilized garden! I am using it as a temporary groundcover in areas wh...

A Small, Sunny Garden. A small garden in the English style, set in the wilds of the northern Sonora Desert. Bibliography and Inspirational Material. Friday, August 7, 2015. The Wild Tree: August. Today's walk to see the wild tree proved to be a voyage of discovery. The few rains we have had during July have altered the landscape in many ways. The first surprise was finding a couple of blooms of Desert Poppy open. at last! These marvelous wildflowers (Kallstroemia grandiflora, see my post from last year.

A Small, Sunny Garden. A small garden in the English style, set in the wilds of the northern Sonora Desert. Bibliography and Inspirational Material. Saturday, February 28, 2015. End of Month View: the Dry Corner in February. From the garden side. And looking in from the yard. It is meant to be home to some of the most adamantly desert natives I am growing - things that should not have much supplemental water at all. This where the acacia ( Acacia salicina. Is planted (I do love the colour of the bark).

A Small, Sunny Garden. A small garden in the English style, set in the wilds of the northern Sonora Desert. Bibliography and Inspirational Material. Monday, March 30, 2015. Monday Vase: Flowers, Sun, and Water. There was no arranging to speak of, as the wind upset any attempt to configure the blooms, generally driving them into a garland effect around one side of the dish, this way. I enjoyed the stark colour contrast between orange and blue. Wednesday, March 25, 2015. Warm climate flower bulbs. The hybr...

A Small, Sunny Garden. A small garden in the English style, set in the wilds of the northern Sonora Desert. Bibliography and Inspirational Material. Tuesday, August 11, 2015. Monday Vase: Birthday Bouquet. Last Monday there was no vase from the small, sunny garden. All last week was, in the memorable words of the Marchioness to Dick Swiveller, a Oner - from start to finish. Hopefully this week goes a bit better! And a couple of stems of Jasminum sambac. Though I didn't have enough time to properly condit...

A Small, Sunny Garden. A small garden in the English style, set in the wilds of the northern Sonora Desert. Bibliography and Inspirational Material. Sunday, August 2, 2015. Planting the Exotic: Caesalpinia pulcherrima. As I promised yesterday, here is a post on the latest addition to the East Border. Remember what the new Caesalpinia pulcherrima looked like in mid-June? A very small plant in a nursery pot. In the intervening month and a half, it grew quite a bit. Leaves are finely divided. From various s...

A Small, Sunny Garden. A small garden in the English style, set in the wilds of the northern Sonora Desert. Bibliography and Inspirational Material. Friday, October 31, 2014. A Glimpse of the Garden. So here they are! The Russian Sage (Perovskia atriplicifolia) bids fair to become a workhorse of the southern bed. The little plant went from gallon-size pot to soil with barely a gasp. It deserves a post all to itself and will have one soon, I hope. I've chose to use rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) for se...

A Small, Sunny Garden. A small garden in the English style, set in the wilds of the northern Sonora Desert. Bibliography and Inspirational Material. Sunday, November 30, 2014. End of the Month Update. Filling in doesn't happen overnight - or does it? I am convinced that the Coral Fountain (Russelia equisetiformis) is taller than it was when planted a week ago. And it is still sending out its spectacularly-coloured mini trumpets. Lastly, finally, a couple of lavenders. Both are varieties of Spanish la...
