~ phlox in my garden...

...looks so lovely :-)

~ phlox in my garden...

All that phlox started as a single plant :-)  It's in the black pot in the photo below taken in May 2009.  Also, look at the size of the dwarf alberta spruce...hee...hee... it is so tiny :-)  The variegated shrub next to the watering can was moved to the backyard and replaced with the dwarf english boxwood shown in the first photo.

Also, this year, I found the dichondra!  YaY!  Last year I looked all over for it after falling in love with it in the gardens at Great Adventure Park --but it was too late in the season and unavailable at the local garden centers.  I planted it today in those square containers in the first photo.  I am looking forward to seeing the plants spill over the tops of those containers and work their way down to the pavement -- hmm...I think I might need to raise up those containers with some bricks or pavers.

  1. Beautiful! The dwarf Alberta Spruce really was a dwarf in 2009 and I just spotted that small container of Phlox. Hopefully, the photographer was able to get away before the creature lurking in the shadows pounced! KF
