Paprika Yarrow

April 26, 08.



Achillea 'Paprika' (source: Bruce Miller - Edgewood)
Description:
24” x 30” wide, (cutting propagated). This Galaxy hybrid selection is renowned for its large clusters of bright red flowers. Each individual flower in the cluster also has a distinctive yellow eye. As is the case with all Yarrows, the flowers fade as they age; “Paprika” fades from red to pink. Planting in afternoon shade will slow the fading a bit. Adding to its good looks is the fern-like deep green foliage. “Paprika” is everblooming with regular deadheading and is best used in the perennial border where it enjoys enriched soil and regular watering.

Geese Family

April 23, 2008.
Two geese seen walking through the pasture towards the pond.


Apparently they brought with them their babie. Six of them! That explained the walking (instead of flying). Since then they became permanent residents of the bass pond.
