Notes from the land of Incahoots
This week has been one of those when I just had to dedicate myself to playing catch up. It seems like I’ve either been doing paperwork or staring at a computer screen for the last 4 days. The good news is that a lot of papers that were in the in-box are now in another box which is a satisfying feeling, but with computer work there really isn’t much of a physical change other than electrons moving about, which can leave you feeling like you’re not accomplishing much of anything.
However, I do have the day off tomorrow so I’ll get out in the fresh air and slop some paint on the garden shed. Just the thing to give the little gray cells a rest.
Fall Color
As I was opening up the outdoor yard this morning I was struck by the color of the ‘Vision Violet’ Geraniums. (This is one of the true geraniums, not the plants commonly called geraniums with the bold clusters of flowers throughout the summer.) This hardy perennial is not one that I would normally think of for fall color. One usually think of their magenta-purple flowers that bloom starting in May, but their fall foliage color is a striking orange-red on finely cut leaves. You might want to give this one a try in a mixed fall container or as an edging plant along a small flower bed.
Bells and Blooms
Make someone’s day by sending this elegant combination of disbud Chrysanthemums, Bells of Ireland and Hypericum. A river cane trellis surrounds the clear cylinder vase and adds an Asian flair. $30.00 Call 503-472-4923
