An Abundance of Richness Today

Make some tea or some cool lemonade and come walk with me though my spring garden. I am REALLY lucky this spring that not much has eaten, destroyed or killed my beautiful flowers. So I am enjoying them, because like any experienced gardener, I realize these beauties are most temporary.  I wish I could pick a bouquet and bring them right over!

  4. Gorgeous flowers. We as yet only have buds, sigh. One more record breaker of 29 degrees or less we fear will do them in.

  8. Thanks for the lovely pictures, they were joyful to one who has had every thing, but the rosemary, munched by the deer, turkeys, jays, raccoons, and one mangy coyote...

  9. Yes, Beverly, it is a hybrid and since they grow wild around here I am hoping this one will last. The second is a "hardy" gardenia and I am also hoping it lasts although it is at the top end of its range.

  11. I bet your garden is spectacular! These photos surely are.

    Re your question: she will be 42 next month. She has 4 kids, inc. twins and her husband has custody of his 3 (one is in college). She's an amazing person, but a lot of credit goes to her husband - without his agreement and help, she couldn't have done it.

  15. How is this possible?
    Five minutes ago you were bitterly crying about the cold winter and now you have roses! Roses in Mid-May! And so much else.
    I shall have to go round and take photos of actual flowers blooming chez nous.
    I spent much of Saturday cutting down shrubs that died.

  21. So beautiful, and thank you so much for sharing them. What I love about the pictures is the sense of a very large scale object. Flowers towering above us like trees.

    Tabor, you've turned us all into Thumbelina! It's absolutely marvelous.

  26. I just made a fresh cup of tea and settled down to look at your lovely flowers. I didn't recognize the white flower, and had no idea there was a hardy gardenia. Adding it to the wish list right now....

  27. Oh what joy your garden must be.

    Our townhouse community has a dedicated group of landscape committee women (master gardeners) who lovingly plant flowers in the common areas twice a year. The maintenance company takes care of the heavy lifting.

    Beautiful flowers.
