I’ve gardened within the Bitterroot Valley of Montana (Zone 5b, besides when it’s Zone 4) for 15 years. This spring, I believed it might be an fascinating examine to {photograph} the entrance flower backyard month-to-month from the identical perspective. It ended up being an fascinating collage for posterity in addition to a submission to GPOD.
The backyard in Might is climbing out of its winter slumber. Floor covers reminiscent of creeping phlox (Phlox subulata, Zones 3–9), Veronica, variegated vinca (Vinca minor, Zones 4–9)—which I eradicated later within the 12 months—and grape hyacinth (Muscari armeniacum, Zones 3–9) present a backdrop for good crimson tulips and daffodils. Rising dogwood and flowering fruit bushes fill within the background.
In June, yellow columbine (Aquilegia hybrid, Zones 4–8) provides punctuation to a cool, early morning view of pink, burgundy, and white peonies (Paeonia hybrids, Zones 3–8) in addition to quite a few different perennials.
Delphiniums (Delphinium elatum, Zones 3–7) steal the present in July with a supporting forged of delicate pink roses, Japanese anemones (Anemone hupehensis, Zones 4–8), rudbeckia (Rudbeckia fulgida, Zones 3–9), and a flowering clematis.
