Rain has been ever present in our garden for the last two weeks it seems. Even the “dry” days are still wet when you consider the soggy ground and grasses you have to walk through to get anywhere. Today I thought I would share a couple pictures that are enhanced by the rain.
Raindrops on Clover
Clover is one of those “lawn weeds” that I actually like having around. It’s green during the cool season, it adds nitrogen into the soil which in turn feeds the grass, and it gives the bunnies something to eat other than my plants!
Raindorps on Muhlenbergia capillaris
The third picture is of raindrops that have collected on the seed heads of our Muhly Grass (Muhlenbergia capillaris). It’s a great native ornamental grass for the fall garden. The reddish tinted seed heads put on a fantastic display when planted en mass like Frances planted them. The raindrops in this photo almost appear to be little gems congregating on the end of the plant.
What was the most interesting photograph of the raindrops in the garden that you’ve taken?
Your raindrops on the Muhly grass is really nicely done.
Lovely pictures!
Love the rain but last night it was a torrential rain-so much! Great shots. The clover looks so soft and inviting.
Hooray for your muhly, Dave, and thanks so much for the link love. Now about this rain…..
Frances
I adore the pic with rain drops on the Muhly. We just got 2 down pours about an hr. apart. We may get more. It has been nice. Mid 70's now. Cooler temps sure feel good.
Love the raindrops on the Muhly grass! I recently took some rain photos, too. Japanese Maple and a crabapple tree's apples. I love rain photos!
Why did the "Sound of Music", "My Favorite Things" pop in my head? LOL
I love the Muhlenbergia capillaris, is this hardy for zones 7 ?
Machelle,
You should have no trouble with the Muhly Grass in zone seven. It goes from zone 5 to 10 so you should be safe!
