Multi-Tasking To The Extreme

Nice shot above of the European cranberrybush viburnum (Viburnum opulus 'Roseum') in our Scottish Garden. Viburnums are such a great shrub and are very durable in our landscapes. This variety is sterile and produces no fruit. I love the transition from the "limey" flower clusters to clear white. It looked like it was going to rain all day but I'm looking out on sunshine and blue skies. It was overcast and cool this morning but is warming up nicely now. Today truly was a day of multi-tasking which included our normal Friday fare but also had to include the extended plant sale. Plant sale traffic has been light but we hope tomorrow will bring more traffic. Marianne and Janice have again done a nice job making sure everything is running smoothly. I'm always smitten with the foliage of golden meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria 'Aurea') as seen below in our Scottish garden. The white flowers in summer are lost above the foliage but the foliage is a 7 month contribution!
Marv and Terry worked separately today as there were so many smaller, essential projects to accomplish. Marv ran irrigation and set up sprinklers where needed as we're keeping our newly planted areas moist. Terry worked on watering, mowing and myriad other tasks. Marianne and Janice helped in the plant sale and worked out in the gardens as time allowed. Kay finished tidying up the rose garden (no small task) and really did a great job out there (prior to two wedding in that garden tomorrow!). We had great volunteers out in the plant sale, many of whom volunteered at the sale last weekend too. Kristine and Luis came in to work on labels and coordinating labels for tomorrow as we plant during our work day. Rollie installed bricks and Del helped with watering and other duties related to the plant sale. A good day. Short blog. Lots to do. One of my favorite coral bells (Heuchera 'Caramel') is below. Great plant. Sorry for the sideways picture, just turn your head 90 degrees to the right. There you go.
