| I thought I'd do my bloom day post from Far Reaches Farm in Port Townsend this month , as we've stopped on the way home today . Philip and doggies patiently waited while I had a little look round. |
 |
| I really wished I'd taken this lovely Astrantia 'Dark shiny eye's' but I was after things for dry sunny positioning |
 |
| Most of the Iris's were over , but this Iris 'big money' was still looking fresh. |
 |
| This was not ready to bloom yet, Nomocharis pardanthina a lily relative , must remember to look for this bulb. |
 |
| Chiastophyllum oppositifolium , so not blooming quite yet , but a very nice shade moisture lovely succulent that I would have loved to bring home, but didn't. |
 |
| Finally a bloomer, Soldanella alpina . A sweet primula like native to the Alps and Pyrenees. |
 |
| This one I did take with me, Myrteola nummularifolia , because I can't resist teensy white flowers. |
 |
| Cirsium rivulare 'Atropurpureum' |
 |
The star bloomer … Meconopsis'Lingholm'
|
 |
And a simple species peony . |
A whopping huge tree peony bloom … gorgeous. Then it was time to collect my , not that full tray of plants and get back on the road.
Happy bloom day and for more lovely blooms visit
May Dreams Gardens.
What a fun stop (and doesn't Phlip look dapper?). Was this your first time to visit Far Reaches?
ReplyDeleteLori, Yes , first time visit to Far Reaches ; and Philip didn't do any ca- chings when I kept bringing more plants over…happiness !
DeleteIsn't it a fabulous place? Sounds like you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteAlison, We had a wonderful few days in Port Townsend , escaped the heat wave in Portland. Next time I'll leave more room in the car for plants :)
DeleteI bought plants (mail order) from Far Reaches this spring. I really love their inventory. I probably would have needed to have that thistle too if I had been there. What fun. And having a patient hubby is the frosting on the cake.
