In a Vase on Monday – Just Joey and Bridal Bouquet – Absent Gardener
https://absentgardener.com/2016/12/12/in-a-vase-on-monday-just-joey-and-bridal-bouquet
In a Vase on Monday – Just Joey and Bridal Bouquet. December 12, 2016. December 12, 2016. Just Joey is just such a lovely and unusual rose, and although it’s not turning into a big bush, it’s in a tough place beside the driveway, continually battling off the attentions of a purple penstemon on one side and a rosemary on the other. Not to mention the weeds and grasses. Just Joey is such an unusual colour, especially the buds which are almost parchment-like. Check out Rambling in the Garden. Your florals a...

In a Vase on Monday -English Roses and Hybrid Teas – Absent Gardener
https://absentgardener.com/2016/11/28/in-a-vase-on-monday-english-roses-and-hybrid-teas
In a Vase on Monday -English Roses and Hybrid Teas. November 28, 2016. November 28, 2016. We are visiting C’s dad and it’s colder here than at home. Because New Zealand is long and narrow North to South, travelling even a few hours by car changes the climate. It’s rainy and windy, a good day to stay inside and take photos. The distinctive bright pink colour of Gertrude Jekyll is easy to recognise, a tall English Rose with masses of flowers on upright stems and a strong fruity scent. I was going to put th...

That stark angle contradicted the tropical blooms of the begonia that had been outside all spring and summer, forever young, forever vibrant. As Lyn and I had been so many years and places ago. We've begun. Too, we've begun to understand first-hand the extent to which cancer has affected the lives of so m...

Lee May's Gardening Life: Dancing on the Ceiling
http://www.leemaysgardeninglife.com/2014/11/one-morning-between-my-first-and-second.html
The many life lessons. Unearthed when we dig. In the dirt . . . and pursue. A range of other interests. In the constantly evolving. Saturday, November 1, 2014. Dancing on the Ceiling. One morning between my first and second chemo treatments, I noticed that my view of the world had shrunk mightily. My broad chunk of doings from out there had narrowed to a few spots; each morning was filled with a sameness as I scanned walls, amazed that my view had withered so profoundly.

Some plants just won't die. The Rose, which I wrote about here,. Is one of those. It performed so elegantly last year, I wanted to put it in spot better than next to the mailbox. It's back and bigger than ever. Not because I didn't try. If I had succeeded in digging it up, the stress might have killed it –...May 10,...

Before I got around to moving the plant, I decapitated it with one pull of the string-cutter trigger. Killed it dead. Or so I thought. Call it the rose with a heart. The rose with a supreme will to live. By any name it is beautiful. As is its example of survival in the harshest of circumstances. About Anna Davis, who is. An ex...

Humans and birds in annual seasonal search. The calendar says spring, and as always, this season stimulates the housing market. Like people, birds are on the hunt.

Lee May's Gardening Life: Mayhem, New Shed and a New Start
http://www.leemaysgardeninglife.com/2013/06/mayhem-new-shed-and-new-start.html
The many life lessons. Unearthed when we dig. In the dirt . . . and pursue. A range of other interests. In the constantly evolving. Sunday, June 23, 2013. Mayhem, New Shed and a New Start. What delicious mayhem it was. That memory gets thinner all the time, pushed away by my new garden shed, the first one I've ever had. Previously, my garage served as a garden shed, but it was more a catch-all space that encouraged hoarding. Seeing my shed rise from bare ground was worth a few memory images. Part of that...

Lee May's Gardening Life: Whole lotta building going on in birdland
http://www.leemaysgardeninglife.com/2014/05/whole-lotta-building-going-on-in.html
The many life lessons. Unearthed when we dig. In the dirt . . . and pursue. A range of other interests. In the constantly evolving. Tuesday, May 6, 2014. Whole lotta building going on in birdland. After I was given the bluebird house in March (click here). It quickly became clear that Carolina chickadees would be the tenants. Not bluebirds. It also is clear that those chickadees are among the hardest-working creatures in birdland. Whether the birds have finished building, I don't know. When they'll h...
