Gardening in the Pacific Northwest (Vancouver, Washington)
 |
| This was one of my favorite views in the garden. Absolute perfection! |
 |
| Ninebark (Physocarpus) is on my wishlist. |
 |
| There were a number of hydrangeas in the garden. This is an unusual one that we grew in our Alabama garden. Hydrangea aspera (if I am not mistaken). |
 |
| We saw a number of Gingko trees. I am sure the garden owners are collectors. I did not know there were so many different varieties. |
 |
| There were also several different varieties of Smoke Tree (Cotinus). |
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.
