Emerging Spring Foliage




Agastache "Golden Jubilee" I love how this one emerges purple and gradually changes to it's golden-chartreuse coloring. Sorry for the hailstorm of slug pellets...they have been exceedingly voracious this spring and i am on the warpath...aesthetically, not super pleasing, as it looks like my garden has a bad case of dandruff :-(
