Joan’s Garden in Massachusetts

At its peak, this flower-filled garden in New England is a symphony of glorious blooms in pink, purple, orange and yellow

Hi GPODers !

We enjoyed some snow - filled scenes from Tingshu ’s garden in Massachusetts yesterday , and today we ’re stick in the commonwealth but turning back the clock to some beautiful efflorescence of summer . Joan Cogliano has shared some stunning summertime flowers from her garden in the past ( paint a Garden With Flowers , Joan ’s New Garden , Last Summer in Joan ’s Garden ) , but it has been a while since we ’ve gotten an update . Today we get a spirit at some of the gorgeous color and dainty blooms that were on display last year .

Hi my name is Joan Cogliano and here are some photograph from my North Weymouth , Massachusetts garden .

First up , an Alchymist climbing lift ( Rosa‘Alchymist ’ , Zones 4–9 ) produced an abundance of fully double , erstwhile - fashioned bloom . But the apparently eternal ruffles of petals on these roses is only part of this glorious varietie ’s attractiveness . We only get to look up to their sensory people of colour and form , but Joan gets to revel their strong perfume .

rosiness mingle with sea of other sea of other colour , textures , and forms in Joan ’s flower bed . While there is a good deal going on in this scene , a cohesive combination of pinks , purpleness , and orange tree ties everything together .

Continuing with this color theme , a gloriously bright pink peony . The fashion Joan captured this bloom makes it bet like it ’s kick the bucket to bound right out of my screen . Potentially the variety ‘ Coral Charm ’ ( Paeonia‘Coral Charm ’ , Zones 3–8 ) or something standardized , I love the range of pink that can be found on its petals .

Joan also showcases that having a cohesive theme does n’t stand for you ca n’t ramify out and bestow some more complimentary colors . In a garden full of pinkish , majestic , and orangish , lily-livered is an easy and bright color to add to the mix . Big sensationalistic irises are the perfect demarcation to spires of bright purple salvia .

I can tell that Joan is one of my favorite types of gardeners , those that make beauty for every passerby - by to enjoy . As someone that has drop extended periods of time traveling , and many days walking down unfamiliar street , very few thing incite fervor more than planting run out out along a sidewalk . ignominy move out the window and the phone arrive out to capture the alien ’s generous plantings . If I was wandering around North Weymouth and stumbled upon these gloriously lustrous and cheerful pinkish yarrow ( Achilleamillefolium , Zones 3–9 ) , I dead would have paused for a close look .

Lastly , a perfect creamsicle - colored rose just beginning to unfurl feel luminous in front of nerveless catnip ( Nepetaspp . and cvs . , Zones 3–9 ) .

Thank you for sharing another year of highlights from your garden ’s peak , Joan ! Your beautiful salad days never disappoint and I hope we get treated to fabulous flowers from your garden again next yr .
