Tulipano: June 12, 2009. WHAT I LOVE RIGHT NOW. I find a quiet moment every day to stroll through the garden and contemplate every little change.

But when something does happen, when your garden literally changes because certain plants are done blooming and others are slowly taking the stage, those moments are really exciting. ALLIUM ‘Giganteum’: One of my favorite show stoppers! I planted abou...

Tulipano: July 2009

Tulipano: July 22, 2009. The summer is getting away from me again, but the enjoyment of my garden is not overshadowed by all the tedious responsibilities life sometimes dictates. This week I am obsessed with my delphiniums. Delphiniums have always stimulated a response to an emotional memory. You know when you’re walking down the street and suddenly you’re overcome by a scent that you just can’t place, but once you remember it’s like you’re transported to somewhere in a memory?

Tulipano: June 14, 2011. If I could just leave it alone! My family tells me I have a bit of a problem when it comes to organizing. Don't get me wrong.I don't miss appointments, forget to pay bills or have piles of clutter all over the house. I'm the opposite. I'm obsessed with finding the most efficient way to do things (who wants something. To be harder than it has to) and the perfect place to put things. I consider it an art. Shouldn't there be something to break up the texture between the Kalimeris.
