A Perfect Moment

Spring light catches as garden just so

Kelly Stevens garden in North Carolina , where she work for a local garden center . Her garden at home is a plant - lover ’s paradise , filled with happy specimens , beautifully placed and place off by mosaic - work garden prowess . Today ’s photos capture a everlasting moment in her garden when the Inner Light was catching everything just correct .

Sometimes the brightness level hits a garden just right and makes magic ! Here sun is glowing through the garden . The whole scene is wreathed in the regal flowers ofWisteria frutescens(American wisteria , Zones 6–9 ) . This species is native to the United States . It blooms a little later than the incursive Asiatic metal money with forgetful flower heads , and is much better behaved . The Asian metal money tend to try and consume the entire garden , and then steer out to conquer the local woodland . The native mintage stays smaller and is usually a much better choice .

Tradescantia virginiana(spider lily , Zones 4–9 ) blooming gracefully surrounded by beautiful tile mosaic .

Another scene of the sunshine get American wisteria , blossom over tile mosaic .

Sometimes plants with yellow - immature foliage can be hard to employ in the garden , as the bright yellowy color can clash with other tones . But not withTradescantiaxandersoniana‘Sweet Kate ’ ( zone 5–9 ) . Here the promising yellowish leaves are complemented to perfection by the right blue flowers . It is a match made in heaven .

A endearing bearded iris , white impact with downhearted so delicate and recherche it looks like it was painted .

The new leaves onFatsia japonica‘Spider Web ’ ( ‘ Spider Web ’ fatsia , Zones 7–10 ) emerge so brightly variegated with white it looks like they would n’t have enough chlorophyl to go ! But as the leave age , they acquire more green and so provide the plant with plenty of push to grow and fly high . And when the new leaves come out , they are as beautiful and striking as any flower .

Achillea(yarrow , Zones 3–8 ) comes in color ranging from scarlet to pink to orange to , as here , white-livered . Looking at this , it is punishing to fancy any of those other people of colour being better than this bit of bright sunshine turned into bloom form .
