Gold Flames Looking Good

I've been impressed with how nice the Gold Flame Spirea (Spirea japonica 'Goldflame' )are looking right now. The emerging foliage is a great orange-bronze color. This neat and tidy little shrub is planted a lot. It 'wears' many different outfits throughout the seasons- some more appealing than others, in my view. Right now - it perks up the garden-especially when planted in masses.

Later in the spring the leaves turn brighter yellow-green and it blossoms bright pink.






















And than in the Fall-it sports red orange brilliance.
Little plant changes it's appearance so drastically it
requires a very special place in your garden design.

Who's Blooming Now?

It's been a little difficult to clearly see the delicate blossoms that have been appearing all over Central Oregon- what with snow flakes, crazy wind bursts and hail chunks blurring our vision - but trees and shrubs ARE blooming. Here are a few that you might notice around town-

The native Serviceberry Trees and shrubs are just beginning their bloom. They are such airy,
sweet trees. Lovely white or pale pale pink flowers now; edible blue or black berries
in the summer, followed by red- orange Fall color.

You should be able to identify the Callery Pears-
tidy looking, often columnar shaped, with
sprays of white flowers.
They are almost finished- but they put on quite the show this year.














And now here come the crab apples!!





This is an example of a Prairie fire Crab. The Heartsprings Nursery has many
different varieties of crabapples. Stop by any Friday soon to enjoy the
blooms.
