Flowers 2024

This will be a great experiment! Been doing preliminary work on this plant to find its suitability to bonsai also. It’s very similar horticulturally to an azalea, so I will be interested in viewing your efforts.

Cheers

Thanks for the reply! At this point in my bonsai venture, every tree I have is an experiment

I have some great support though, @yashu and @RJG2 live in my area and have been super helpful and encouraging. Yashu encouraged me to pick up this tree, I found it this spring at a local nursery in "second chance plants" section for $10!! So far it is doing well, but once I start training it, I'll make a thread in my progress, hopefully I'll remember to share it with you.

Most of my yarrow was white but now I have a few pink ones that must have seeded from a neighbor's yard


And these are the invasive lilies that I can't seem to tame by the alley.

Gaillardia 'burgundy'. I planted one here 15 years ago and it has persisted.


Penstemon. Salvia and the strong stems of Achillea filipendulina in the background.


Catmint, 2 colors of Salvia, all self-seeded. My garden has achieved the chaos to which it aspires. The bit of wire you see in arching over a little mugo pine so the deer don't eat its new growth.

Yeah there's A LOT of ground to cover down there for sure, but well worth it, your pic's speak for themselves.

This is one of my favorite Azalia. Unfortunately when I bought it it was only marked as a satsuki so I don't know the exact cultivar.

The sunflowers are getting going now, but very few actually came up this year. Not 100% sure why.
