Wissahickon Schist: July 2014
http://wissahickonschist.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Gardening in Northwest Philadelphia along the Wissahickon Watershed. Tuesday, July 1, 2014. The Fire of Summer. Oh, the beauty of the day and all that belongs to it. I thought I would be sad because I have not one hydrangea bloom this year. But no, the lack of blue just heightens the harmony of the hot colors of present flowering. Only when the light is this strong can white, red, pink, orange and violet (tempered by green) be so right together. Do all these colors go together? Perhaps. But also more.

Wissahickon Schist: Anglophile or Anglophobe?

Gardening in Northwest Philadelphia along the Wissahickon Watershed. Saturday, June 6, 2015. Was it the British nannies? The Child's Map of London on the wall by my bed? The British teachers, including the headmistress, at my school? Or maybe that my grandmother looking just like Queen Elizabeth I to my young eyes? In the garden picture above, see that small yellow-flowering tree to the right of the President Lincoln Lilac? Quite lovely, isn't it, and intensely romantic. My small garden could not con...

Wissahickon Schist: May 2014
http://wissahickonschist.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Gardening in Northwest Philadelphia along the Wissahickon Watershed. Monday, May 26, 2014. Now is iris,. And the first few roses. I look forward to seeing what the arc of the roses is going to look like. In late March, when I pruned them, there was much more dead wood than usual. The poor Rugosa was mostly dead yet it is still the first bloomer. I do know that it has been a good spring for iris, which have bloomed copiously, colorfully and long. The Fortunate Fall is the concept that though humans messed...
