Walking Through The Gardens

The big red Japanese Maple is filling in by the lower pond. Click on any of the pictures to get a better view.


Teddy checks out the lower gardens and walks under the Katsuras. These weeping trees give off a scent twice daily that smells like cotton candy.


Teddy makes sure to check out every inch of the garden.


Behind the Katsuras you can see flowering apple trees.


Behind the witch weather vane, you can see the espaliered apple tree trained against the fence.


They are beginning to bloom.


The Sweet Woodruff is filling in the perrones and should be blooming soon.


Forget-me-knots are blooming in places they were not planted.


Mazus Reptans blooms along with a dandelion.


Finally the phlox is in full bloom.


I remember a house from when I was small which had phlox cascading down the hillside in front of it. It was stunning when in bloom.


The tree peonies are close to blooming.


Lungwort is blooming and spreading everywhere.


Pig Squeak.....Bergenia....when you rub the leaves together they sound like a pig squeaking!


Fothergilla


They are blooming throughout my gardens.

*** Tomorrow I will be showing you my potting shed which took an entire day to clean out!
