I knew the order I wanted to share these pictures in, but this time they came out opposite. Oh well. And lately my blogging is just not my main interest. So, as the man I've been spending a lot of time with lately says, "It is what it is!" The man is my dentist, by the way! And I think I am
finished with him when he checks my gums to see how they are healing. (Until I save up and get
courage to have more work done).
I'm short, so this plant is T A L L!
Rob Proctor mentioned in his blog this was the plant he had the most questions about during the tour. They were throughout the garden in all sizes and stages of flowering.
They're called giant cow parsnip.
Heracleum sphondylium
An interesting bud!! About my eye level, I think.
There were about 6 brick columns on each side of a grass pathway with perennials on both sides of the "fence". Close to five feet tall.
This season there were ten apprentices helping in the garden. I'd certainly help out if I lived close by. I'm thinking the tender tropicals must spend their winters in the glass addition on on the rear of the house. Almost $10,000 was raised for the Denver Dumb Friends League from the tour. Great tour, great cause! Visit
Rob Proctor's blog for lots more information. Click on the pictures to enjoy the details!
