LCI Week 1: In the Garden

[deza]

Several years ago, I ran across plans for an all-black garden. Black foliage, black flowers, shining ebon in the sun. My little former-goth heart sang in delight. I have always loved things of darkness -- most of my dogs have been in shades of black.

Right now, I can't have a garden. I'm living at my brother's house while looking for work. Eventually, though, I'll have my own yard again. this time, it's going to be full of my dear dark plants and flowers.

It gives me something to work towards.

I saw a garden once, twenty years ago at the Royal Botanical Garden in Kobnhaven... they'd coordinated pansies to match tulips, pansies in front, tulips in the back of the bed, and this phenomenal gradually-shaded absolute RAINBOW of flowers in a bed about ten feet deep, and that stretched almost as long as a football field as you walked down the promenade. And I remember the purple black tulips and pansies. Yes.

A black garden sounds great. I only have a tiny front with a few planters but if ever I see a black variety of any flower (which doesn't happen very often) I will always pick that one to plant over the others.

And you've arrived in the DC metro area?
