Another batch of floral highlights from a New England garden that put on a colorful performance last year
Hi GPODers !
As promised yesterday , we ’re back in Hingham , Massachusetts with Nancy Mellen to see more photos of her garden in spring and summertime of last class . If you missed the first passel of garden highlight yesterday , be certain to check that out here : Part 1 . Otherwise , keep scrolling to see more arresting blooms from the peak seasons in Nancy ’s beautiful gardens .
get down off with a close up of the ‘ Hartlange Wine ’ calycanthus ( Calycanthusxraulstonii‘Hartlage Wine ’ , Zone 5–9 ) we pick up yesterday . What a gorgeous color !
‘ Venus ’ calycanthus ( Calycanthus‘Venus ’ , Zone 6–8 ) has creamy white-hot flowers , but you’re able to see from Nancy ’s photograph that some clandestine color is hidden in the center of these heyday . As these blooms remain to unfurl they reveal a deep , rosy heart and soul .
As we saw yesterday with her collection of unbelievable spring ephemeron , Nancy has several North American natives that grow beautiful bloom from bounce through summertime . This includes the native species of genus Calycanthus ( Calycanthus floridus , Zone 4–9 ) , unremarkably called spicebush , eastern sweetshrub , or Carolina all spicery .
Another star woody aboriginal , sweetbay magnolia ( Magnoliavirginiana , Zone 5–10 ) often gets overshadowed by the freehanded blooms of southerly magnolia ( M. grandiflora , Zone 6–10 ) , so I ’m felicitous to see Nancy present it some love . Hardier than the southern magnolia , and with a usually much smaller footmark , this aboriginal Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree is suitable of more attention .
A endearing hedging of Rosa Mundi ( Rosagallica‘Versicolor ’ , Zone 4–9 ) with rhododendron to leave , two mock orange bushes ( Philadelphuscoronarius , Zone 4–8 ) in flower on the right hand , and with aKousa dogwood(Cornus kousa , Zone 5–8 ) not flowering yet .
And a finis up of those beautiful Rosa mundi roses . These old roses only bloom once a year , but they flower profusely and their incredible colour , patterns , and bouquet make that once - a - class show worth it .
finally , promising lily-livered evening primula ( Oenothera biennis , Zone 3–9 ) growing in with Russian sage ( Perovskiaatriplicifolia , Zone 5–9 ) continues the stream of colour past the bright Rosa Mundi hedge .
give thanks you so much for take on the fourth dimension to partake in these photos with us , Nancy !

However , I hope we do n’t have to wait quite so long to see highlights from your spring and summer gardens this year !
