It is fascinating to watch things come to life in our growing garden at Casa Debbio. The blossoms are making me sneeze, but through watering eyes I see these beautiful things.
We have cherry blossoms.
Pear blossoms.
The walnut trees are sprouting new growth.
The hazelnuts are doing the same.
Ferns are poking through.
I have planted geraniums and the big pots are waiting patiently to be filled.
Fruit trees, wisteria and roses are waiting to be planted.
The pine trees in front of the house are covered in tiny…no bigger than my little finger nail…pine cones. (At least that’s what I think they are)
This gorgeous flower is called Aquilegia caerulea, or Rocky Mountain Columbine. I hope it likes the mountains of the Garfagnana as well as the Rockies. It is supposed to be self seeding. With a bit of luck they will soon be everywhere. I think it is absolutely fascinating.
I guess you can tell I am fairly new to this gardening thing.
