Mostly Green this week, but…

Mostly this week is showing what I would call a transformation in the garden landscape here at Fishtail Cottage.  Almost all of the bulbs have finished up their glory over this past week, and because of all the sunshine that we are having here in Seattle, many blooms are appearing earlier.  Right now, much of the garden looks like these photo’s below!  Roses, Peony’s, Delphinium and Iris’s are showing that they are ready to put on their own show ~ but just not quite yet.

Here are some photo’s of fantastic garden plants in bloom! Primula (candelabra primroses), Chinese Pagoda Primrose, heuchra, lupin and jack frost are all blooming.

I always LOVE pictures of your garden. As always, it is just breath taking!! As always, my hollyhocks are going CRAZY. They are taller than the roof of the house. Have a great week, and again, thanks for sharing your garden. Love it!!

I absolutely love your Secret Garden Entrance. Colorado bulbs aren't even up yet. We're slow but finally growing!

It's gorgeous!!! All of it! The first picture with all of the columbine is my favorite.
What kind of rock did you use in your path? We put pea gravel in some paths two years ago and I'll be darned if more than half of it has disappeared. Compacted, plus tracked around to the lawn and deck, I'm sure. Yours looks bigger and really nice.
Wow Tracie! I had no idea your property was this big! I'd not seen your secret garden before (how'd I miss that?) and it is HUGE and so lovely! I love the mystery of the winding path as you enter the arched trellis. I read one time that a garden should have winding paths so that you can't see what's beyond their beginning, thus peeking visitors' interest. Your garden certainly does that! Beuatiful! Hugs, Leena
There's nothing better than a secret garden for privacy and tranquility. Yours is a joy to find after following the path.
Must be the soil here but lupines only last a year or two then disappear. :-(

I covet lush gardens where there is plenty of rain and even temperatures.

Looks like even though it's green, it's still beautiful. I want to walk down the path in your secret garden to discover what else is back there.

It's all so dreamy Tracie! You are an inspiration! Love all the nooks and crannies for taking a stroll or just sitting and enjoying the peaceful surroundings!

Hello Tracie, your garden is gorgeous - so beautifully laid out. I love the beginning of blooms as much as when their full. I hope you have a blessed weekend,

I've just discovered your blog and I will definitely be back soon to see more! Your garden is gorgeous!!! You are an inspiration - I love finding Northwest gals whose gardens give me ideas that will work in mine. I'm an Oregon gal - a near neighbor - born in the Seattle area. A true NW girl at heart. Finding your blog made this rainy day bright!
