I’m back from a few sun-filled days in Washington DC, which were a welcome respite from the gray winter days we’re still experiencing here in Western Mass. It was my first trip to DC and I had a wonderful time. My inner 8-year old had a blast exploring the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, while the grown woman & gardener wannabe captured plant inspiration at every corner. Cherry blossoms, different and colorful varieties of hellebores (lenten roses) and tulips, daffodils and euphorbia. It does help that DC is so much warmer and sunnier than New England, and while in a different agricultural hardiness zone, I’ve still come away with a few new plant names I’d like to grow in my garden, the names of which which I’m adding below, along with this week’s finds. Hope you see something you like!
