@roughwood_softgrass Anne - check them out! My babies! White Martagon lilies on their second year from seed. I really really hope there was no mixup and they truly are white. Five years is a long time to wait to be disappointed… 🤞😊🤞A pandemic with lockdowns was good for my garden. I raised the firepit patio about three inches and connected the areas around it with stone.

The house had the most wonderful copper salmon downspouts. So great! 🤩Never a shot without a garden hose taking center stage, but you know how it is - it’s been a very dry spring. Had a consultation scheduled for this evening, but the client thought it was *next* week, so I got the night off. I don’t mind in the slightest - I needed some downtime in my own yard for a change. Just me, the cats and a beer. Aaahhh…
