Digitalis lutea

i love foxgloves! but they are short-lived, and that always makes me sad. so when i saw these self-sowing sunshine-y yellow numbers, i was thrilled! digitalis lutea is offered by my friend barry at sunshine farm & gardens: an awesome place!

wonderful wisteria

this is the time of year wisteria is in it's full glory...and i love it! these beautiful blooms are from a neglected neighborhood american wisteria vine that is rambling up a metal telephone pole support. they can get rather large and need sturdy support: the largest wisteria in the world measures over an acre(!) and weighs over 250 tons (how do they know that?), so you better have sharp shears if you want one! i love the lavender-to-blue color.
