The flower garden is nearing the top point of it's seasons' development. Here are some fotos to show what it's looking like. The garden is looking pretty good today: Remembering how it looked in the beginning of the Spring, it's amazing to see what Mother Nature has done. Before...at the time of spring cleaning: Today: Lining the path: Filled-in: Toward the arches: Now: General shots of the main flower garden:
"The garden is looking pretty good today" - well that's the biggest understatement I've ever heard Sjoerd!! Your garden is absolutely breathtaking. So much colour and so may wonderful plants. Your lottie is a credit to you and your wife. :-D
Looking PRETTY GOOD? That garden is....I won't say the first thing that came to mind but suffice it to say that it is absolutely stupendous. Now I would like you to make a list of all the plants I see in those photos. Since I will be swapping yards this fall and have a clean slate for the new garden, I want to be sure I can reproduce your garden exactly. It is the garden of my dreams!!!
EILEEN: Thanks for your sweet words. It makes me fee all proud. I'll tell the bride what you said. CREATIVE 1: It probably is a buddleia, if you're looking at the same one I am. I have several different ones in the garden here and there. Are you asking me what my favourite flower is? I always find that difficult to say. It sounds silly, but I like different flowers for different reasons--sometimes for the colour, sometimes fro the fragrance,sometimes for the height (or lack of it)... I just find it a very difficult question to answerr. GLENDA: Coming from you, who has so many beautiful plants---I take that as a great compliment. TONI: hee hee hee... I don't knoiw whether to take you seriously or not. At any rate I certainally do appreciate your very complimentary words. If you ever would like to know the names of some or all of the plants, let me know and I will indeed list them for you. What a compliment you gave! EJ: Oh yes, there are all sorts of beasties in there such as shrews, an occasional mouse countless beetles, moths, hoverflies, ladybirds etc...--Did I mentiopn slugs? :-x ...and as for the smell... it's quite perfumey I guess, because folks frequently stop and tell me so. Since I am in it all the time I think that I notice it less. Thanks for your kind words.
Your garden is always so neat and gorgeous. The aroma walking thru, has got to be fantastic. You've done it again. Great Job!
Thank you folks so very much for your nice comments on the flower garden. Your nice words are so good to hear.
