not anymore tonight…. now tomorrow night this might repeat. or not. the seedling is 12-097 10-043 Little rainbow x Cerulean Star) x Sally Sue. and yes it a number with-in another number. it was part of the 97th group of seedlings planted back in 2012. so we can do our own version of ‘when you can snatch the pebble from my hand’ or should it be blossom from the garden ? so this is the seedling that was finally chosen for tonight. two images… with a glowing yellow. a yellow that glows too bright for its lavender companion pigment…
what is in the garden ? well if you are doing it right – you are. it does not have to be your garden. it just has to be you in a garden. any garden. that includes untended and wild gardens. sometimes you just have to be there. see it and feel it. find it. tonight this is what is to be found in the digital garden. a seedling – Prague Spring x Gift Tie) x Sally Sue. two images..
7/6
it rained this morning. somehow that knocked out the garden walk. it did not rain this afternoon. so it was time to see what was blooming and time to see what might be happening in the seedling bed. good things. this is a first flower. time will tell how it matures. so it may change and shift. and i just might have to adjust my expectations. and so far i like what is being shown.
