Study Weekend Garden Tours - Southeast & North Portland - pt. 1
Despite all the work and hoopla of preparing for our open garden on Monday, I did manage to steal away on Friday and Saturday to visit the gardens in Portland. There were six gardens on Friday, located in the Southeast and North Portland neighborhoods. Beginning with the first three - Jenn Ferrante garden - Cool and calming, an oasis of serenity with pinks and blues and touches of chartreuse. And a majestic weeping beech. Peter Eastman and Dayrol Griffin garden - another colorful oasis with many tropical touches and a well-executed street border planting. Anne Davis & Miles McCoy garden - This small garden packs quite a punch with borders, potted plants and artistic touches. Check out that pathway! More to come...

What in the world? That thing looks like i feel! It's our first week back at school.
ReplyDeleteIt does look a bit haggard, doesn't it? That is a "Mutabalis" rose bloom.
ReplyDeleteI was just going to ask what the pink flower was, i think it's beautiful and the background of the photo is unusual, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love the way Mutabilis changes color on the bush....
ReplyDeleteWhat a striking photo! I really love it! :o)
ReplyDeleteI've loved that rose from afar since I first met it.
ReplyDeleteSweet!
ReplyDeleteYou've made even this tattered bloom look beautiful, Phillip!
