Moon Garden Replanting

DSCN0935

In May of 2009 we installed a Moon Garden beneath the branches of our Moon Sycamore in the Richard T. Bowers Historic Tree Grove at MOSI.

Last week we removed all of the white lantana that had not been blooming and replaced it with more white pentas, white angelonia, blue daze, white impatiens and white ruffle calladium to brighten up the area. In combination with the pale purple pentas, African iris and plumbago this garden is now lovely once again. As we were planting, a lone Gulf Fritillary descended upon the garden and dashed from flower to flower savoring his own personal garden free of competition.

The Moon Garden is right outside the side doors of the MOSI Grand lobby and is also visible from the Library.
