That's a great looking variety. looks nice Rick.

My new bed is currently covered in weeds and not quite finished. Hopefully I'll finish it soon so I can contribute.

Thanks for sharing! How about some close-ups and names of plants?

No new gardens here. Just more plants in the same beds.

Thanks, Rick. Nothing new here, either. Still assessing my plants' rebound from last winter's damage due to cold and rabbits to see what I can tolerate and what may have to go. And yes, names and close-ups always appreciated.

Young conifer garden. Cryptomeria japonica 'Knaptonensis' in front with Abies concolor 'Blue Cloak' in the back. I also have a small Acer palmatum 'Fireglow' in the back and will be adding Picea orientalis 'Iseli Seedling' next spring. Should give me a nice mix of colors and textures in...about 10 years!

Close Up of 'Blue Cloak'

As annuals and perennials fade and leaves yellow, the deer begin their interest in my conifers. I have been crafting wire cages to protect some of the younger, more fragile specimens in the garden.

While not a good picture of specimens, thought it was cool.
Cultivars in the pic include;
Pinus ponderosa 'Penaz'
Pinus ponderosa 'Dixie'
Pinus contorta var. latifolia 'Willow Creek'
Pinus contorta var. latifolia 'Tigers WB'
Pinus monticola 'Nana'
Pinus flexilis 'Comanche'
Pinus jeffreyi 'Joppi'
Pinus mugo 'Carsten's Wintergold'
Abies concolor 'King's Gap'
Picea engelmannii 'Bush's Lace'
And more!
