The Wet, Wet Garden
After worrying about the rain deficit (we were below normal for April), Mother Nature generously rewarded us with an abundance of rain this past week. I am not going to complain although I do wish it would skip my off-days. Today (Saturday) is an especially wet day. I ventured out briefly and took a few shots. The plants grow so fast from the rain.

Beautiful pictures of a beautiful garden. What a treat. I especially loved the Ginkgo's.
ReplyDeleteNo words but stunning!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely, peaceful garden. That's a very pretty ninebark. Thanks for sharing your photos.
ReplyDeleteStunning! Thank you for the photos, I must visit this garden someday. Lots of take-away ideas!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! Thank you Phillip!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice post! This is surely well-designed Japanese garden! Most of the plants here are common in Japan, but I've never seen the Hydrangea aspera:) It's lovely! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWow.
ReplyDeleteLove the smokebush.
And all the other plants, of course :)
So much textural interest Philip... exactly the style of garden that I most enjoy visiting.... thanks for sharing! Larry
ReplyDeleteWow, yeah. Awesome. Want! That! Garden! Not that any of it would grow in my climate.
ReplyDeleteAnd excellent photos, too.
I'm in awe of all that green! We've entered our usual summer dry spell a bit early this year, and the lawn is already burned up. I've already forgotten how lovely that deep, rich green can be. There were two other shocks you showed me above, the ninebark and smoke tree. I have both of those, and they look NOTHING like that! Just plain wow.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have a property large enough that you can spread out all those big trees and shrubs. It looks great.
