Re: Visiting Spring in North Carolina
Thanks, Joseph! Compelling closeups of interesting plants. The Helleborus foetidus really looks rich when planted in a drift. I often have seen them looking a bit gangly or floppy when a single specimen is in bloom.

Re: An English-Style Garden in Tennessee
You had me at "beautifully perfumed and thornless". That combination of the rose with a clematis near the doorway is perfection. The garden looks well worth the visit offered.

Re: More in Sally’s Maryland Garden
I thoroughly enjoy your savvy plant combinations which truly allow leaf textures and healthy drifts to allow the beds to be far more than busy collections of plant that are growing luxuriantly. The gardens appear at ease but it is clear that they are so well maintained.

The specific Hoop Petticoat daffodil shown is Narcissus romieuxii 'Julia Jane' [which is available from several mail order bulb companies]

Re: GPOD on the Road: A Hosta Lover’s Garden
In the first photo, you might notice an unidentified shrub known as "false hydrangea." Its distinctive leaf shape suggests it is Diananthe caerulea, which is not yet in bloom.

Re: Gardening Side by Side
I do envy the sharing spirit with your neighbor. Not only does it build a friendship but helps meld those properties by the repetition. With their permission, I've planted some things that have "walked over" to my neighbors, like May Apple, Ostrich ferns, and seed-spreaders like Wood Poppy (Stylophorum diphyllum) and Brunnera.

Re: Container Before and After
I fully appreciate seeing such a lushly planted container from multiple angles and after a summer's growth. There is also a lesson from seeing how the shape of the empty container truly helps showcase the variety of leaf shapes and textures as they lay across a smooth surface.

Re: GPOD on the Road: Keukenhof, Part 2
If you get a repeat when you have signed up for daily email with GPOD, I have found that you can go back to the header and clicking on GPOD will get the proper new photo set.

Re: Earliest Blooms at Ned Wolf Park
Because it goes dormant so early it is hard to find in the trade, even mail order. But it really spreads, uncontrollably perhaps but is perfect where hostas will come later in May

Re: Earliest Blooms at Ned Wolf Park
Mahonia blooms, when visited by the earliest pollinators, will create stunning clusters of grape-shaped berries. It's spiny leaves are an unusual large scale texture, so it offers a bit of exotic looks yearround.
