April Showers
Rhododendron 'Blue Baron' Greetings from a wet, wet garden. In between rains, I've managed to get a few photos... (And sorry for the erratic quality of these. I have a new phone and still learning how to use it. Some of these are from the phone and others from my camera). Acer japonicum 'Aconitifolium' ('Dancing Peacock') Flowering Currant ( Ribes sanguineum ) 'King Edward VII' Clematis 'Stolwijk Gold' is beautiful for the first time after languishing in the garden for five years.

ReplyDeleteYour garden looks lovely from any angle, Phillip. The sixth photo offers an intriguing view I don't think I've seen before. however.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have recognized it as your garden! Except for the purple wall... Totally different perspective, just as gorgeous though!

Beautiful no matter how you look at it. I do agree that others look at our gardens different and it is fun to see it in photos their way.
ReplyDeleteDavid is an excellent photographer, and you are an excellent gardener!
