Spring unfolds in Pauline’s California garden

Today we get to see the latest developments in Irvin and Pauline ’s garden in Carmichael , California ! Irvin says,“We thought it might be of involvement to share garden highlights from a typical outflow morning stroll through “ Pauline ’s Garden ” .

“ The garden landscape encompasses an upper garden and a labyrinth of six different elevation of unite switchback paths to a brook below . Azaleas have been included in the garden for their brilliant gloss and rich texture . They play a role as a realistic walkway border at the garden entry and other pathway . azalea achieve their crescendo in April . Here in Carmichael , California , they hold their sprays of wispy ruddy and white efflorescence through April and early May . know as “ royal house of the garden ” , many of our azaleas are over 40 years erstwhile . In the natural woodland garden the azaleas complement the Japanese maples .

“ pair with the azalea and Japanese maples are the flowering dogwoods that , when in full bloom , always add together dramatic leaping ravisher to the landscape . Because of their unlike anthesis agenda we implant pinkish ( Cornus florida ) and kousa ( Cornus kousa ) flowering dogwood close together . Once the pink dogwood begins to shake off its blossoms the white blossoms of the kousa cornel begin their display .

“ Another wonderful unfolding outflow shrub , which is locate in the low garden by the brook , is weigela ( Caprifoliaceae ) . It is a native of East Asia and has variegated leafage and trump - determine flowers and offers interest for all seasons . It is a hardy plant and nice in a with child garden .

“ To make the morning stroll complete we are serenaded by the soft cooing of mourning doves and accompany by our companion Aussi , Lenny , who loves to explore and launch the path . ”

Always a pleasure to tour your gardens , Irvin and Pauline . And Lenny is endearing !
