A Future Gardening Magazine Picture

I'm not good at landscaping or combination planting; I follow the time honored method of gardening; wander about with a plant in one hand and a trowel in the other until I find an open spot to stick the plant in. However, this might be a future picture for Fine Gardening magazine; yellow ladyslipper orchids blooming last May, backed up by a clump of deep purple Primula sieboldii. The clump of primroses just needs to get bigger (which it will).

Your style sounds like mine! I do end up moving things around if I don't like how they look, though.

Ohmygoodness. That is just beautiful! Certainly a contrast from what's out my window, though! ;-) Wishing you a memory-making, joy-filled Christmas.
 
Sue... I've moved some things six times.

Shady... and Merry Christmas to you, too!

OMG! These are your orchids? They are beyond fantastic! I was going to get some, but then I read the instructions on their culture and care and gave up.
You deserve an award of some kind.

And I laughed so hard at the true " time honored method of gardening" because I subscribe to it as well.
 
These orchids look great!!! You really have a green thumb. :)
 
Sylvana... I know, I've SEEN your garden :o)


no... I try!

I garden like that, too.

And you have no idea how jealous I am of your ladyslippers!
 
Kylee... it mainly takes time!
