Nice shot above of the 'Tricolor' annual geranium (
Pelargonium) with such beautiful leaves. I spent the day laying out plants for our big work day tomorrow and really took note of how many plants I've selected for just their foliage. It was a busy day today with Mary and Roy helping plant this morning and Urban and Rose doing the afternoon planting shift. Janice, Dr. Yahr and Shirley planted two areas and Shirley moved to some weeding while Janice took care of containers. Magda worked in her area as did Mary H. All the grounds staff had a busy day. Janice will help with the work day tomorrow. Terry hauled plants for me, push mowed, smoothed tilled beds and bounced around. Marv did a nice job rototilling four large areas that we'll plant tomorrow. Marianne did her tidying in the entrance garden, arranged the cutting display, hauled many plants and watered. It was a fast paced day from start to finish. We hope to have a good turnout tomorrow as we already expect some volunteers from Noon Rotary as well as the Rock County Workender program. If we get another 20 volunteers or so, we should be in good shape. I love this spring container that I saw at Olbrich (Madison) on Monday. Great use of oranges with the pansies (
Viola) and African daisies (
Osteospermum). Not sure on the varieties but this container wouldn't look this nice in late July. They'll transition to more heat tolerant plants shortly. Nice vivid look though....
