Today's favorite combination involves three different flowering shrubs in bloom together with the cobalt blue Bachelor's Button during the month of May. This bed is in the front left side of the house as you look from the street called the North front bed. It receives the most sun out of our garden beds and it has been a challenging bed to plant in due to the vast amount of tree roots left in the ground after some old trees were removed before we moved in. Every year I continue to add sun loving perennials and flowering shrubs to this bed but more to come on this later.
Azaleas or Deciduous rhododendrons " Herbert" (pink) and "Gibraltar" (orange) plus Deutzia "Nikko" (white) and Bachelor's Button or Centaurea Mountain Bluet

So which one is your favorite picture?
I shared this post with Today's Flowers where beautiful photographs are shared by bloggers around the world.
Hmm do I have to pick a favorite? Maybe the 3rd picture down...but, then again, maybe the first picture or the 2nd, 4th or 5th. Ha, I'm no help at all. Love how particularly full your Deutzia 'Nikko' looks. That plant is a favorite but mine don't look as full and lush.
ReplyDeleteHa Ha! That is why I am unable to pick one! Thanks Michaele for trying! Deutzia had a good year in 2013. It depends on how late after the bloom I trim it and how the weather is before the blooms open. The 2 years before was horrible because I didn't bother to take pictures in that bed at all. The azalea buds are sometimes all eaten by deer too so in a good year, I take lots of pictures to lasts me for a while!
