Plant of the Day

Sunday 28 April 2024

Perfect for a container in a shady place the perennial Brunnera macrophylla 'Jack Frost' (Siberian bugloss) provides large, heart-shaped silver leaves edged and veined with green. It produces sprays of small blue flowers in spring.

Fern of the day!

Nephrolepis exaltata 'Smithii'! That's right! This is a Boston fern! Whaaa? It doesn't look anything like one! That's because it's been bred to be adorable! They call this variety Cotton Candy! Very similar to the Fluffy Ruffles variety but a brighter green.

Little garden area at my favorite place in town. That’s a weeping apple tree (I think the only one I’ve ever seen) and will be covered with bloom by next week but even now this looks so cottagecore!

Detail from a walk. Maybe I’m losing it but everything looked so lovely yesterday.

I bought this plant a year ago, a hybrid of two very different slipper orchids. Flowers of this hybrid vary a lot and aren’t always even nice to look at. It’s preparing to bloom now and the suspense is building!
