Whimsey Among the Flowers












One last photo of our side garden as it is now. The hydrangeas are called Strawberries and Cream, I think. They are spectacular! On the right side of the border the open space will be filled in with another caryopteris. The next photo shows white daylilies; I have forgotten their name. But I have several scattered through all my gardens; they add a calming effect. The very last photo is another one of our favorites. Don’t you just love daylilies?
Final thought: Gardens involve all of our senses. Planning, planting, caring for and just enjoying them is rewarding beyond measure. Planning is done in the winter, dreaming over garden magazines. Planting involves first, garden centers browsing among so many beautiful plants and flowers, then tucking them gently into our own gardens. Caring for involves hands on time in the garden, watching as what we’ve planned far exceeds our expectations. And enjoying and sharing the beauty of our gardens with our loved ones, who could ask for anything more?
