Another page in my Gardening Journal
I planted delphinium this year, it is one of my favorite flowers but I haven't always had great success with it. I don't know why I am constantly trying to grow things that I struggle with, must be the challenge. My mom planted a few last year and they did ok, but not great. This year , to my surprise they came back so I added more! They are beautiful!! I love the blue, there is no other blue like it, a true cobalt glazed pot blue! It doesn't look real. I debated whether to even paint them knowing I can't capture the blue correctly. I plan on planting more next year and hope that these will come back! I like the pacific giants best, they are bigger than the magic fountain variety.
BEAUTIFULLY CAPTURED!! LOVE THE LOOSE FEEL OF THIS!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. What bright, cheerful and beautiful flowers. Great job.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous flowers! And such a beautifully drawn journal page. It looks like it should be in a luxuriously published coffee table book.
ReplyDeleteI don't have much luck with delpheniums either, but I get a few every year and consider them 'annuals', especially the newer 'Blue Butterfly' variety. I can't get enough of that blue color.
