I know I need to keep a garden log so I know when things are blooming - then I could plan for planting next year, right? But I am usually surprised by blooms, with the exception of daffodils and crocus.
So today, June 25, 2010, the wispy astilbe are starting to bloom. They last only a blink so I try to enjoy them every day. The pale pink spears almost don't qualify as blooms. No individual flowers are visible. But a collection of their tiny blossoms is almost ethereal.
Have to look up the name of this shorter variety - I know I had to special order it, but didn't label it. Next task: putting permanent garden labels on all my plants!
