  In the first photo, you might notice an unidentified shrub known as "false hydrangea." Its distinctive leaf shape suggests it is Diananthe caerulea, which is not yet in bloom.

• Re: Gardening Side by Side

  I do envy the sharing spirit with your neighbor. Not only does it build a friendship but helps meld those properties by the repetition. With their permission, I've planted some things that have "walked over" to my neighbors, like May Apple, Ostrich ferns, and seed-spreaders like Wood Poppy (Stylophorum diphyllum) and Brunnera.

• Re: Container Before and After

  I fully appreciate seeing such a lushly planted container from multiple angles and after a summer's growth. There is also a lesson from seeing how the shape of the empty container truly helps showcase the variety of leaf shapes and textures as they lay across a smooth surface.

  Thank you, Anna. What compelling images of plants completely new to us. You give us a chance to stand back from our fussed over home gardens and take us into an adventure of sights not often seen. I appreciate that you've identified the indigenous people whose land grows these wonders. that you have artfully captured in stellar photography.

  Thanks for showcasing these wildflowers, Joseph. It is especially interesting to see plants that are cultivated for garden use as they grow in a natural habitat.

  It is clear, JoAnn, that your garden was established by other plant lovers. But your stewardship has already brought your own energies to the fore. Thanks for welcoming us into this -nothing like Orange County - garden oasis1

  If you get a repeat when you have signed up for daily email with GPOD, I have found that you can go back to the header and clicking on GPOD will get the proper new photo set.

• Re: Earliest Blooms at Ned Wolf Park

  Because it goes dormant so early it is hard to find in the trade, even mail order. But it really spreads, uncontrollably perhaps but is perfect where hostas will come later in May
