Wanted to see what you have been up to. I joined the Chicago Botanical Garden the week before the "open house" for public gardens. That place is fantastic. Wow how beautiful. I don't know about you but when I leave a place like that I just want to get home and redo the who place - thought a little impractical I will admit. They have the most beautiful Japanese Garden, check it out. Will check in with your postings again soon.

However, because of our unpredictable rainfall and crazy soils, careful site selection is important.<br /><br />Michael,<br />I did saturate some of the photo's colors. Thanks for the non-creepy validation.<br /><br />Carolyn,<br />I would have thought that Rhodos would do well in your climate. The plant you asked about is some species of Podophyllum, but I could not get a positive ID, and yes the next pictures are the flowers.<br /><br />Janet,<br />That Phlomis was new to be. I have the yellow one with silvery foliage.<br /><br />Sweetbay,<br />Thanks! I do not normally do "cute", but the shot begged to be taken.<br /><br />Jim,<br />You should make a trip. It is one of the the mid-Atlantic's great public gardens.<br /><br />LesLeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281256160705697856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-60925207610376178082011-05-11T22:41:31.342-04:002011-05-11T22:41:31.342-04:00Looks like the place is on fire with fantastic col...Looks like the place is on fire with fantastic color this time of year.

I also love the green benches with evergreen rhododendrons. I am excited to learn that there is another experienced gardener who can't grow them. I would be embarrassed to tell you how many I have killed--way more than six. I currently have zero in my garden. I do have two deciduous rhodos that are limping along. What is that big shiny leaf plant, an Asian mayapple, and was the next photo of its flowers?
