Roses In The Garden - a book review
Roses In The Garden by Ngoc Minh Ngo Photographer Ngoc Minh Ngo celebrates rose gardens throughout the world in this beautifully produced book. The author photographed a total of 11 gardens across the globe (Italy, Morocco, Spain, USA, UK, and Japan). Beginning with the Italian garden Ninfa (often referred to as the most romantic garden in the world), her photographs have a dreamy quality that transports the reader to these exotic locales. Closer to home, Floret Farm in Mount Vernon, Washington, is included in one of the chapters. All types of roses are included in the gardens but the majority feature old rose varieties. Many of the gardens have roses growing in wild abandon, intermingled in hedge rows, spilling over walls and fences and surrounded by pastures and rolling hills. A pictorial index lists all the roses and the gardens where they reside. This stunning book was published by Rizzoli Books and is available on Amazon and in bookstores.

That is a vibrant color daylily. Nice to know a Sheriff, lol.
ReplyDeleteFriends with daylilies will often share them, and it is always good to have well connected family.
ReplyDeleteLove the daylily!

ReplyDeleteCongrats to your cousin! Does he get to wear a star badge on his shirt? Cause that would be awesome :D

that is a beautiful daylily.... and what a great thing for your cousin. What an important job!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous daylily. Best of luck to your cousin. A very satisfying job I would think. My cousin's husband has been sheriff of Dubois County in IN.
ReplyDeleteI should invest in more lilies. They're fairly easy to care for, and are perinniel sp?. Well, most are, right? I've got a few wild ones I've transplanted to the yard, but a lot of people have them. They must be naturalized here. I see them in everyone's yards, but I also see them in ditches and along roadsides. That blueberry coffee cake looks like it needs me.

You've really captured the colour beautifully.
ReplyDeleteGuess it doesn't hurt to have friends/family in influential places, ha, ha..
as a novice gardener, am wondering, it's been dry here also (Cape Cod, MA), do you have a rain gauge? how much rain is good enough? I check the rain totals on the weather page but am unsure sometimes what equals a good soak. I'm thinking once the plant/shrub shows signs of stress it's too late, right?
