Cannas look so exotic and Victorian to me. What a pleasure to leave them in the ground and have them survive the winter. I have two varieties in my yard--I'd love to have a few more.
Spiderwort. I know, I know, it's a weed around here...but it's also a beautiful, hardy native. Love the little blue faces.
Cherry Tomatoes Sweet 100. I think the tomatoes look gorgeous against the brick--although they don't much like this soil.
More cannas. This doesn't really show the flowers....but it does, to me, convey the feel of the garden on a hot summer day.
Some may consider spiderwort a weed ... not me! You have portrayed it in an ethereal artistic way that is just stunning! I always mow around it in the fields. Great Photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carol. I had a spiderwort in Maine that was lush and full with wider leaves...but definitely the same plant. I love 'em!
ReplyDeleteI love Cannas too and we can keep them in the ground as well. My only problem with them is trying to keep the Canna Leaf Rollers off of them - ugly little critters.
ReplyDeleteI love the spiderworts as well. Sorry I don't have any cannas to offer you!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I like the way you blurred the backgrounds. The last one of the canna is my favorite with those quick lavender streaks and beautiful green foliage. That would make a great painting as well.
ReplyDeleteWow...Just found your blog via Patrice Lynne Young and I'm adding you to my faves.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful artwork!
I'll be back.
Love & Laughter...
Love your "eye" Kim! Very inspiring. I've never tried pastel. Hooked on watercolor... but you make pastel look/sound so inviting! Keep 'em coming. Love your work.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes, Kris
Kim - hope you are doing OK - sure miss your posts. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHey Kim, so good to hear from you again! I was just in Buffalo a few weeks ago and was surprised at how hot it was. Drop me a comment/email when you start blogging again (or whenever you want, of course).
