Serendib Garden

I grew these little “Blue Berries” cherry tomatoes from seed, and so far, they seem reasonably happy in my window box. I just staked them up a bit, because I was worried that without support, the stems might bend too much against the metal of the window box and snap. We’ll see — window box […]

Oakleaf hydrangea, flowers going from white to green-ish pink.

Lilies, very tall! About 8′ at the top, I think? With veronica in front, and Joe Pye Weed in back. I think this is lilium speciosum rubrum.

Lilies. (I’m out working in the garden so much these days, I’m mostly not bothering to cut flowers for the house, but every once in a while…)

Black swallowtail and phlox.

Liatris and cardinal flower (natives), with hydrangea and a basket of begonias that I keep meaning to actually hang…

Anand was very excited when he spotted the (single, solitary) pear on one of our pear trees.

Can I combine a climbing rose and wisteria on the same post? Specifically, rose Eden Climber. It won’t go as high as the wisteria (the pergola is 15′ off the ground), but I’m imagining that it might bloom really nicely on the bottom half of the post, around the wisteria vines.

Cleome! I didn’t plant them this year, but this one popped on its own, reseeded from last year, I think. I do like them.

Summer beauty allium. Great plant, very easy care.
