I’m a graphic designer by day, so naturally I’m attracted to various textures, colors, and patterns in the garden (beyond “what color is the flower?”). My overall landscape is still a work-in-progress, so why not focus in a bit?

Tiny fennel plant in the vegetable garden
Who doesn’t love a purple coneflower? It’s a classic for a reason.
Bee on milkweed flower
Red Lake currant
Catawba grapes – this will be the first year I get fruit from this plant
Look who was hiding under a cucumber leaf!
In case you can’t tell, we are switching into high gear here in Minnesota! Here we go…

Ummm… pretty sure that’s bottlebrush grass (Elymus hystrix), not little bluestem.

It’s one of my favorites, too.
