Remembrance of Plants Past

Echinacea purpurea 'Green Jewel' - 16 July 2021

 Green Echinaceas

Today I spent big coin buying plants at Phoenix Perennials in Richmond. This nursery had the biggest variety of unusual plants. I go once a year. What is my goal?

My Kitsilano garden is one that I shared with my Rosemary. Every year some of her favourite plants may disappear. Thus my objective is to find what I call her plants. I found most of them except Echinacea purpurea ‘Green Jewel’. Only a snob like my Rosemary would like a green flower.

I was going to plant them on Monday but I put on my garden jeans and managed to put them all in the ground and then spread sea soil and steer manure. I then watered and placed all the plastic pots in the blue bins for tomorrow’s pick up.

A while ago I decided to test my Galaxy phone in low light and took some photographs of my effort. I am happy.
