Almost fall in May’s garden on Vancouver Island

Today ’s exposure are from May Kald out in British Columbia , on Vancouver Island ! ( Revisit past Post from MayHERE . )

May says,“I was hoping to send fall photos this clock time , but gloaming is slow to show her colour for us this year . Instead , some picture of containers on my back deck . We have had a long summer of drouth , meaning more sunshine for the containers , which grew very lucullan this yr .

It all set out with a light purple / pinkish petunia edged with putting surface . I ’m usually not fond of petunias , but the colours of that one called to me , and I walk around the nursery with it , looking for other plants to conjoin it in a container . A ‘ Martha Washington ’ geranium was added , then a genus Dianthus , succulent , and a grim sweet potato vine . Yes ! It set the temper for other container .

The purple of Colocasia esculenta folio and eucomis flowers were contribute when a deer trampled the first containers . Encouraged by the look of the first few , I created more and more , adding some with warmer orange tree and yellows as well as some with just succulent .

It became a move word-painting – I would move them around the deck of cards for more or less sunlight as the summer days grew longer , then short . Yes , containers are another path to bung the hungriness for more plants ! ”

May , your container are arresting , as usual , but that pic of the froggie on the colocasia leave stopped me in my tracks . ADORABLE . Ca n’t waitress to see the declination batch of photos you ’ll be mail in soon …… . 😉
