Apparently my garden is just over 20 years old....
and the youngest plant Magnolia Sieboldii
is blooming profusely...
this moth is devouring these chive blooms...
and the Jack in the Pulpit approves of its new home moved just recently.
Columbines grace most people gardens and
this blue one delicately hangs waiting for a bee....
here comes a bee
would you look at that...
how timely!
This dogwood, Cornus Florida, is completely covered and should look
so very white soon.
Ron loves clematis and this one called Moonlight
is aptly named because at night
the blooms are so visible...
especially with a full moon.
Guernsey Cream from the underside...
I sniffed this one and it's passes my test...
love it!
Japanese Painted ferns are spreading after many years...
great colour combinations with the maroon and grey.
The Wisteria is so very happy this year...
many blossoms because of a moderate spring.
Oh Hi..I'm standing under the wisteria arbour,
night time is approaching
so I think I'll head in and pull up the covers.
Next time~~~!
Your garden is truly magnificent, Sophie! We can almost smell the flowers!
ReplyDeleteLove ya lots,
Mitch and Molly
AromaBlogging...that's what we need..in this case at least! ;-)
DeleteSophie, you look like you're exploring a jungle, or rainforest! Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteXXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
It feels like a jungle...the trees and shrubs are mammoth now and lots of pruning is done...I direct the guys on this aspect...a little here and a little there...now that's looks better!
DeleteBeautiful flowers!! I love your garden. Oh Sophie... you always look so serious when you're in your garden. It must be where you do all your thinking. Then when you get to the beach - It's fun time and we see your playful look.
ReplyDeleteYou got that right, Bobbi....I have to keep a serious look on because you just never who or what is going to pop out and scare me..really! I am in charge of this garden and I don't want to lose my job....!
DeleteIt's Adam and Steve's very own Garden of Eden!
ReplyDeleteSo very true...and...funny!!!
DeleteReally beautiful flowers! Haven't seen a Jack in the Pulpit in years!
ReplyDeleteI discovered the Jack in the Pulpit at, would you believe Home depot, 10 years ago or more. I bought it and now have many. These fellers get very huge so had to move them from one area to another in order to appreciate them more!
DeleteBeautiful garden and pictures as usual!
ReplyDeleteI hope you and Sophie enjoy your weekend!
Eva and Kobe :)
As well as you, Eva and Kobe...bright and sunny here...the same for you I trust!!
DeleteThanks for pointing out these lovely specimens in your garden Sophie! Such beautiful photos - I particularly like the Guernsey Cream shot.
ReplyDeleteRon loves the Guernsey Cream...one of his top faves...the white/cream ones are all tops on his list.
DeleteI can breathe so much better after a tour of your garden.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sophie!
That's so nice to hear..."shinrin yoku" I suspect!
DeleteHello Sophie - my name is Monty and I am an Italian Spinone. People are often thinking I am a labradoodle but they are silly cos I am ME! I am looking forward to keeping up to date with all the fun you have. Monty.
ReplyDeleteWelcome aboard Monty...you adorable Italian Spinone...I have a follower on my FB page just like you...thanks for joining and salut!Sophie Doodle
DeleteWhat lovely pictures! You have a great garden Sophie! Here in Sweden we have lots of flowers and the grass is growing to fast, work, work.....
ReplyDeleteSounds very similar to our world...all of the sudden grass and flowers everywhere!
Delete20 years and it shows, such beauty! Your photographs are amazing, gives me something to strive for on both counts! Thank you for sharing and inspiring!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Ryker...we've lost many,many plants over the years. This isn't disconcerting...it's just a matter of trying something to see if it works. So what we have left now are the hardy plants that love Maritime climate! Now pruning and relocating plants is priority...love this!!!
DeleteRon
your garden is gorgeous Sophie
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
thanks you two!
DeleteSo pretty! 20 years of gardening, and what a beautiful result.
ReplyDeleteSometimes back breaking, sometimes so very easy...love gardening...helps to relieve anything that troubles or enhance anything that shines!
DeleteSo many beautiful flowers Sophie that we have never seen.
ReplyDeleteI loved that red fern, and the Clematis that blooms in the dark!
love
tweedles
The Japanese Painted fern is really one of the most beautiful ferns...you won't go wrong adding it to your world...seriously! The Moonlight Clematis almost shines as the sun goes down...glowing and gorgeous!
DeleteOh Sophie your garden is an oasis for sure! What wonderful timing capturing the bee with the chive flower! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWe love to sit among the flowers and stare at the wildlife...bees, hummers, birds, and whatever decides to visit!!!
DeleteMy goodness Sophie, you have a beautiful garden.
ReplyDeleteHi Ann...I help the guys whenever they need my expertise...a sniff here and a good sniff there...every bit counts!
DeleteYou lucky girl, you have a beautiful garden to enjoy. I suppose you also have a personal gardener? Gorgeous colors and I suppose divine fragrances. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. Thanks for sharing your garden blooms.
