For #bloomscrolling I thought I’d post some things I’ve seen this week in #Arizona. First, there are these amazing #roses that are being cultivated in the #garden area of Tumacácori National Historical Park. This was a very old #mission, so it’s possible that this is an old variety of rose. The color was striking!

@richrollgardener @gardening I tried growing Trillium grandiflorum from rhizomes but did not have success, with the plants surviving no more than about two or three years and flowering only in the first or second year. The plants were in shade, but perhaps they needed a little more sun, or the soil conditions were too dry. I also planted three Geranium maculatum plants in the same general location. One of the three plants survived and has thrived, which encouraged me this year to try two more rhizomes. I did thin some vegetation to let a little more sun in, so I do not know whether that helped the Geranium maculatum, but hopefully the two newly planted Geranium maculatum rhizomes will create the woodland garden I had hoped for with the Trillium.

As discussed- here are the first garden flowers- first few snowdrops and Drabas from yesterday- I saw first crocus this morning, no photo yet. In the wild just poplars and willows so far.

@richrollgardener @gardening Crockett’s Victory Garden, the book, is actually very good. It's one of my favourite garden books. (I too used to watch this show in the 70’s, it's one of the reasons I garden now. Really inspiring) #Garden
Another photo update of the mugwort patch at my community garden, now several weeks after it was plowed. It's Exhibit A for why one should never, ever till mugwort. I've tried to explain this to the person in charge but she just doesn't care. #allotment #garden #gardening #weed #tilling #plowing #mugwort #artemisia
I found a little brown bird at a thrift store. I painted it to be a blue bird of happiness. I gave it away as a gift to a friend, but I took pictures. I then collaged it into this piece which also uses my handmade mandalas.
