      Broccoli Hall is a mature garden now. And she's a big show off!

      Hi garden friends!

      The garden was closed this year due to (virus) so love to show off starting with April and go through June.

      Gonna try.

      Early spring bloomers: Pulmonaria, minor bulbs, a wild corydallis,trillium ,mertensia and helebores in the secret woodland garden aka Teddy Bears' Picnic.

      End of June through first week in July, plus faves from this year's misc. folder

      A few favorites left in the miscellaneous file. My home-bred (flock-spawned) ki asagi "Thellonia," dear Rosey, grandma or one of them, of the ki shusui tribe, about 12 yrs old now and still clean, a luscious white rose (Mme. Hardy?) the pink tutu'd Celsiana, some F2s in the kishusui nursery, a chipmunk on the hedge washing self, two old kitties lounging in the courtyard, a stunning almost black hollyhock new this year, and a Mom and her kid Just snapped, another dramatic sunset.. Sideways pics again, Not sideways irl.

      Stay safe,
      C U soon,

      Rayjay,
      That little blue spike en masse is muscari latefolium. It's a bulb. Comes in several colors, about 5-6 inches high and is a very reliable. this one is a bi-color, not sure of it's name. if i find it in my bulb book will let you know.

      Side way pictures:
      If you're using a mobile device like a phone or tablet, the forum expects you to be taking them in landscape mode with
      the top of your device on the left. If you take one in portrait mode with the top of the device point up, the picture will come out
      side ways. Helpful tip of the day.

      Oh Max, what a beautiful paradise you have created. So much beauty in every direction! Love the bears!
      Thanks soooo much, SS.
      Hard to believe that I saw the finished product in this old house, but I saw much of it! The long property lines faced south so I knew I could have roses! The koi were an afterthought and you witnessed that!

      I love it!

      A little piece of heaven on earth. What a beautiful paradise.

      Do you do all the work yourself or do you have a gardener?

      Absolutely gorgeous and somewhat whimsical. Do you have a full time staff to manage your botanical gardens?

      I've got help! Liam and Sage Dugan work here 12 hours a week, and Joe Casey mows the lawn. I was biting off quite a bit when i launched into this style of garden -- heavy maintenance, but I'm so glad i did. Love the seasons, love all weather except drought and wind, love the many creatures who live here -- did you see the real live bear?! i'm not sure I love her, but I admire her. i think i've gone off topic. i have help!
