I love having the historic Minns Garden right outside the building where I work. It’s got great bones. But I’ll admit that there are so many things going on in there that my eyes glaze over when I walk by or through. I needed a break from a Saturday morning session in the office today. So I decided to make the most of it and take a closer look.

Wow. I think that’s the longest I’ve ever gone without blogging. But it’s been busy ’round here — and too hot to shoot pix or even sweat over the keyboard. Apologies. I think I’m acclimated now, as the upper 80s today didn’t seem all that bad.
Here are a few pix, most from at least a week or so ago. Can’t get to many umbells.
Achillea ‘Terra Cotta’ (if I recall correctly).

I nice creamy yellow Digitalis. Don’t know the species or cultivar.
The patio, sans Norway maple. It’s going to take me a couple years to adjust, moving out dry shade plants and moving in sun-lovers. The view is still pretty nice.

Another bulb I’ll have to check my records on. An allium? Scilla peruviana.
