The Seasons of Giverny -- "The Moon Remembers" Like the last audiovisual presentation, this fourth garden view is a slide show that's of mainly close-ups -- some extreme! The sequence of flowers and floral scenes that were photographed in the last few days are as follows: various shots of our Aspen grove -- mainly impatiens and petunias (Supertunias); blue Salvia -- with a bee!; Petunia hanging baskets, pots and tubs; red Salvia; Hosta and Impatiens; Daylilies; Roses -- 35 slides -- our favorite flower!!; Zinnias; Phlox; pink Malva; Osteospermum (African Daisies); Goldenrod, "Yellow Submarine"; Fever Few; Begonias; Delphinium; Gloriosa Daisy; Purple Cone Flower; Foxglove -- "Camelot"; Lamium and blue Clematis. Many of our annual flowers are in containers such as 20" hanging baskets, 25-gallon tubs, 5 gal pots, and window boxes. This use of containers is primarily for ease of mobility -- producing migrating "flower power!" For example, as the earlier-blooming perennials (i.e., tulips, daffodils, iris, peonies) cease blooming, we tuck the portable pots of flowering annuals in-between the bloomless perennial plants' foliage. This is the primary method we use to maintain high floral density throughout most of the growing season -- from mid March to mid October (usually!!). Two other important ways to keep maximum "flower power" are to use a very good (homemade) soil-less potting mix with a slow-release fertilizer AND to fertilize weekly with a water-soluble, 15-30-15 fertilizer. There will be more info about our horticultural "trade secrets" in future videos/slide shows. To most easily visit our botanical site again, please Google: Kimball ne meyers gardens
