Mystery Plant... more mystery...

Six yellow stamens, six petals...

I posted a photo of this mystery plant last week with the Trillium... and it has bloomed this week but I am still stumped!

Knot or Parterre?

So I am still trying to decide what design to go with for our Knot Garden... see my progress here.

I am planning on using green boxwood and variegated box for the central design, and then lavender or catmint around the edge. It is a longer, rectangular space, so many of the traditional knot designs will not work, as they are square. And I do not like the typical overlapping squares in a long row.

Flowering crabapple and Indigo Bunting at Havenwood

 Pretty photos of our old crabapple trees in the rain... and with a vibrant winged visitor...

Trillium grandiflorum

Native Trillium grandiflorum in our Woodland at Havenwood this week.

 I shared a few of these beauties for our first GBBD at our new garden. Here are some views of the larger patch that are in full glory this week... and also a mystery plant!
