My hydrangeas are having a moment! #GardensHour 🌱

These purple petunias are especially cheerful right now. And a wine barrel works well for my new maple. #GardensHour 🌱

It's May and the garden is bursting! Also I planted this Limelight hydrangea tree last month. I love hydrangeas but have yet to try a tree form. Anyone else have one? #GardensHour 🌱

Talk about serendipity. We were at Lucasfilm HQ yesterday for a screening at the San Francisco Film Festival. Here's my pic of the Yoda Fountain. Notice antique olive tree in background--no doubt levitated and transplanted by Yoda himself! May the fourth be with you! #GardensHour 🌱

It's hard to pick a favorite. But I do love today's image of my Peace rose with an explosion of Cecile Brunner blooms in the background. #GardensHour 🌱

Charming Itoh peony is asleep at night and awake during the day. #GardensHour 🌱

April arrives with our first peony bloom. #GardensHour 🌱

It's only the end of March and my roses and peonies are ready to pop! Early but obviously welcome. #GardensHour 🌱

@gardenshour.bsky.social Tulips in a nearby vineyard! Also lots of leaves and buds emerging in my garden. One word: anticipation. #GardensHour 🌱

@gardenshour.bsky.social Still enjoying azaleas and snow drops and looking forward to peonies! #GardensHour 🌱

Early bloom on my Martha Gonzales. She's a trooper! #GardensHour 🌱

She came in through the bathroom window… beautiful pink camellia blooms! #GardensHour 🌱

It's not time for them yet, but because our house is near a creek, every spring we "make way for ducklings." 🌱 #GardensHour

This January we welcomed snowdrops and hellebores to the garden. #GardensHour 🌱

Great op-ed by Johnny Townsend! www.laprogressive.com/law-and-just...

Not much going on outdoors. But indoors there's the promise of a new bloom on my phalaenopsis! #GardensHour 🌱

Check out Chanson's interview on Mormon Discussions! Then go nominate your favorites for a Brodie award. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlqF...

@gardenshour.bsky.social Here are more camellias dressed up in holiday white. Hope this shows up for the final #GardensHour! Sorry about technical difficulties. Happy holidays! 🌱

Camellia all dressed up in holiday white. 🌱 #GardensHour

We're minimalists when it comes to holiday decor. However, I did add some berries to our front porch wreath. Also a certain garden denizen dresses up for us every year. Happy and merry! 🌱 #GardensHour

Lots of rain and fall rose blooms in my neck of the woods this week. 🌱 #GardensHour

Ours is not a spa bath. But these houseplants do contribute an air of tranquility. 🌱 #GardensHour

Ten years on. Has anything changed? mainstreetplaza.com/2025/11/05/a...

Looking forward to fall lettuces! 🌱 #GardensHour

One of this year's final blooms on my "Just Joey" rose and pomegranates from a neighbor's tree. 🌱 #GardensHour

Wine country hacks: grapevine clippings reused as plant stakes and half-barrels as planters. In other news, it's a glorious fall day in my garden! 🌱 #GardensHour

Fall blooms on Souvenir de la Malmaison and Oklahoma roses. 🌱 #GardensHour

Sasanqua camelia is blooming! #GardensHour 🌱

No bulbs. But this is the last of my hydrangeas. Still gorgeous. 🌱 #GardensHour

Last gasps of pink on my hydrangea and coral zinnia. #GardensHour #SixWeeksOfColour 🌱

Yellow and orange! Peace rose from my garden and sunflowers from Cottage Garden nursery in Petaluma, California. #GardensHour #SixWeeksOfColour 🌱

Creamy white potatoes newly harvested! #GardensHour #SixWeeksOfColour 🌱

Seed pod on clematis vine. #GardensHour 🌱

Blue salvia, lobelia, violas, and, of course lavender. #GardensHour 🌱

Just under the wire. Hydrangeas! #GardensHour 🌱

My single word for June: Sunny! #GardensHour 🌱

Gypsy peppers and cherry tomatoes will hopefully ripen soon. #GardensHour 🌱

Cheerful sunflowers and creamy white gardenia. #GardensHour 🌱

This has brought joy this week! #GardensHour 🌱 @gardenshour.bsky.social

Enjoying veronica and the first bloom on my echinacea. 🌱 #GardensHour

Shades of blue this week. Salvia, cornflower and delphinium! #GardensHour 🌱

Another 5 stars for Open House! www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Fancy yellow peony! 🌱

This is our third year of gardening in this location. So far peppers, cherry tomatoes, potatoes and basil have been winners. Citrus does well, too. We've yet to get any figs, and the plum espaliered against the fence has 3 tiny plums on it. Trial and error! 🌱 #GardensHour

Spring bouquet from the garden. 🌱

May in the garden. 🌱

Celebrating May with a visit to the garden at Filoli today. So many roses starting to bloom. Looking forward to seeing the few in my garden as well. filoli.org #GardensHour

More "then and now" than "before and after." My sunflowers' progress since planting seeds a month ago. I had 12 seedlings, gave away 10, and saved 2 for myself. I have high hopes! 🌱 #GardensHour
