Happpy Monday GPODers!
Final Monday we loved some spectacular photographs of unusual evergreens from Andy Schenck’s in Malvern, Pennsylvania (Andy’s Winter Backyard in Pennsylvania). Andy is one among a handful of gardeners who reliably sends in submissions after temperatures drop and the move of peak season backyard pictures dries out. One other gardener who regularly shares her spectacular winter panorama is Margot Navarre in Bellevue, Washington (Take a look at a few of her earlier submissions: Margot’s Winter Backyard, Celebrating Snowdrops, Snowdrop Magic in Margot’s Backyard, and Margot’s Snowdrops). The place Andy’s backyard predominantly highlighted the sweetness that may be present in distinctive and strange evergreen vegetation. Margot’s backyard is a masterclass in stunning winter blooms—notably her astounding snowdrop assortment.
The snowdrop season is peaking and needed to share some vegetation that flatter the snowdrop winter backyard.
‘Fieldgate Prelude’ big snowdrop (Galanthus elwesii ‘Fieldgate Prelude’, Zones 4–7) with Fragrance Princess® daphne (Daphne x ‘DapJur01’, Zones 4–7)
A better have a look at these marvelous ‘Fieldgate Prelude’ big snowdrops.
Hellebores and ivy-leaved cyclamen (Cyclamen hederifolium, Zones 5–9)—proven in image—and winter cyclamen (Cyclamen coum, Zones 5–9) pair properly with the snowdrops.
Expanded the backyard so as to add extra backyard house. The large chain fern (Woodwardia fimbriata, Zones 8–10) are filling in and particular snowdrops planted on this newer mattress.
‘Mrs Macnamara’ big snowdrop (Galanthus elwesii ‘Mrs Macnamara’, Zones 4–7) is a tall and early bloomer and stands out.
I benefit from the snowdrop drifts and divide when the clumps get too crowded. I additionally like primroses, winter aconite (Eranthis hyemalis, Zones 3–7) and dwarf iris planted close to the snowdrops.
Dunn Gardens in Seattle, my favourite Seattle snowdrop backyard.
