Tuesday Yardening
Today is mild, cloudy, and damp. It rained buckets last night. \o/
I planted bulbs in the white garden at the end of the driveway. I put in 1 Allium 'Mount Everest' that will be a big ball of tiny white flowers, like the one I experimented with last year that bloomed so nicely this summer. I added 10 Scilla siberica 'Alba' which have little white star-shaped flowers. Finally I planted 10 Iris 'Katharine Gold' which is not actually yellow but instead a miniature iris producing flowers of white and pale green. I haven't tried this cultivar before, but I love miniature iris. This concludes the current purchases slated for the white garden.
