Daydream (Darwin Hybrid)
I couldn’t resist these tulips. That gorgeous shade of orange reminds me of a beautiful, dusky summer sunset. Until cut, each flower was a tight, tiny bud. Within minutes of that first cut, each tulip literally blossomed to over triple of each […]
Now, I remember.
It’s easy to forget over a long winter. But, it’s all coming back to me now. If there’s one headache of a garden, it’s the watering system. Something is always breaking. Either we need to buy a new timer here… or a new timer there. […]

The roses are gone for another year. But, they were more beautiful and more prolific than ever before. The deep red blooms were stunning.
That gorgeous shade of deep dark red fades with each new each day.
Each color has […]
The Starting Point For This Hand-Hammered Wok
