A stunning Angelica gigas (purpurea) at @chanticleergarden.

Our InsectIndex columnist Carol Allen and I attended the local Azalea Society’s meeting on Sunday, which included a plant swap. Free plants are just one of the many great reasons to join your local garden clubs, plant societies, etc. We also heard a great talk on the history of @blandyexperimentalfarm #gardendc #dmv #gardenclub #plantsociety #azaleas (at West Springfield, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqX8yaTuZtu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My dwarf Flowering Almond is starting to bloom. This gorgeous, old-fashioned favorite can spread a bit but is well-contained in my sidewalk hellstrip. #gardendc #floweringalmond #spring #floweringshrub #pinkflowers #dmv #dc #dcgardens #hellstripgardening (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqVf_Ssua9x/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy #flowerfriday! Here are some bloom pics from various exhibits at @mantsbaltimore which is wrapping up today. It was such a treat to take a winter writing break and submerge myself in all things horticulture for a few days #gardendc #dmv #mants2023 #mantsbaltimore #horticulture #plants #mantsmeansbusiness (at Baltimore Convention Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnXMnSSupH0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sweetgum trees (Liquidambar) aka gumball tree for these spiky seed balls. They are great for crafts, but not so fun to step on. #gardendc #trees #sweetgum #gumballtree #liguidambar #dmv #picoftheday #nofilter (at Jesup Blair House) https://www.instagram.com/p/CljL_Z_OREV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This colorful corner garden was such an inspiration to me this weekend! They really brightened up their urban neighborhood on the PGco-DC line. #gardendc #dmv #urbangarden #citygarden #cornergarden #picoftheday #nofilter (at Cottage City, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjQSBjtugSF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Elderberry (Sambucus) growing in a neighbor’s front yard. It is a beautiful plant with many health benefits. (Caution: The berry should be processed and eaten raw.) #gardendc #dmv #elderberry #sambucus #berries #picoftheday #nofilter (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiP6dt4Ocu9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Pink astilbe in two tubs that flank my side garden path. It is deep shade and very dry there between the large oak trees and buildings, so I am only able to grow them in containers that I keep well watered. The soil is pretty much straight clay soil that I dug from my yard. They stay in there happily year round. #gardendc #astilbe #pinkflowers #dmv #containergardening #urbangarden #citygarden #picoftheday #nofilter #dcgardens (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CebVeu0OPiy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I am seeing Pineapple Lily (Eucomis) in gardens across the region. This is a bulb I haven’t grown myself. Have you tried it? How did it do for you? #gardendc #dmv #flowers #bulbs #pineapplelily #eucomis #picoftheday #nofilter #pineappleflowers (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSozHKWr8mC/?utm_medium=tumblr

A small, bedside vase with Double Butterfly Cosmos ‘Rose Bon Bon’ blooms from my cutting garden.

Ultimate #couplegoals - this pair sitting on a bench taking in the rose garden at #brooksidegardens in Wheaton, MD. I wonder how many proposals have been made in this location? #gardendc #dmv #gardenromance #publicgarden #moco #picoftheday #nofilter #rosegarden (at Brookside Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSeWWR2LFPJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Pink Muhly grass is so ethereal and lovely. I have just this one clump at the edge of my driveway entrance and it is a showstopper. #gardendc #muhlygrass #pinkmuhly #dmv #muhlenbergiacapillaris #ornamentalgrass #fallgarden #picoftheday #nofilter #pink (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVSvjmmAqhT/?utm_medium=tumblr
