Spring Brightness

“Louie Eastern White Pine Tip”
Heatherwood Spring

Early morning sun shines brightly through the tip of one our Louie eastern white pines. A shaded blue spruce provides a great background. The bright yellow is the Louie’s winter shade. Soon it will be turning into a light green as spring moves to summer.

I love my morning walks in our Heatherwood garden.

Winter Walk #2

“Louie Eastern White Pine & Colorado Blue Spruce”
Heatherwood Winter

I only have to take a couple of steps and turn about 30 degrees to see another conifer contrast of yellow and blue. The yellow ‘Louie” eastern white pine stands out against the Colorado blue spruce background. Heathers and grasses surround the “Louie”. The grasses provide an interesting contrast of shapes and textures with the conifers. We leave the grasses in their natural state until mid-March when we cut them back. Like the Chief Joseph lodgepole pine, the ‘Louie” also turns to a summer green color.
