Home Again - Hello Roses
'Crown Princess Margarita' I'm back home after a three week garden tour of the Cornwall region of England. It was phenomenal and I'll be sharing photos from the trip later. I got back home to an explosion of growth and bloom in our garden. I was grateful that we received some rain and so was Michael, who didn't have to do a great deal of watering. This is my favorite time of year when the garden bursts into bloom and everything is fresh and unblemished. The roses are especially a treat right now.

A massive garden! And you are right, there are many wonderful vignettes throughout. The slightly stressed sedum Angelina in a pot, or the potted chartreuse bamboo... great artistic combinations.
ReplyDeleteI can't tell if it is a rusted shelf or a bench in the photo, but I want it! :-D

A peony field? I think I my husband and I may need to revisit our discussion of a move to the Puget Sound area...Laura's garden is absolutely fabulous.
ReplyDeleteKris, she used to raise peonies.
DeleteWowza. Classic PNW garden. Looks like your area got a very rainy rainy season.
ReplyDeleteSame reaction as Kris: a peony...field?!?!! I can only dream!
hb, she used to raise peonies. Yes, we've definitely had a rainy season!

ReplyDeleteLaura Scott has an excellent eye for garden vignettes. The potted short bamboo agains the rusty metal, the heat stressed sedum Angelina in the urn with glass orbs, the totally drool worthy rusted shelf, or bench. Inspired combinations!
