like the fresh picked camellias we have on
the Christmas table – this year we had Aunt Alice in bloom for Christmas! The
pink is Debutante and variegated is Peppermint. OK, so they don’t look so great
with the pink of the poinsettia, but I guess it proves the season!Here are some shots of the garden today – or I should say, the some of the bigger plants… the ground level has lots of different color violets, a few hundred Lily of the Valley scattered about, and even many of the weeds have sweet little flowers on them. I just had to include Red Emperor flowers that blew off in one of our wind storms and landed on the mossy ground. I thought it looked so cool… too pretty to walk on… I had to step over them.
Pink Perfection is still in bloom!
And now the azaleas… First, the Meditation Gardens: The old and now the
azaleas are old enough to start blooming in the New Meditation Garden:
Moving to the back yard:
This last one was badly damaged by that surprise 29
degree blast a few weeks ago. Fortunately, some buds had not opened. This bush
is over my head. Thanks for taking this little stroll thru my garden. it has been a lot of work, but oh what a joy to see. Azaleas in every direction. I am so happy the newest azaleas are starting to bloom… I only wish the deer hadn’t eaten so many of them almost down to the ground. My yard, especially the Meditation Garden, is open to a number of people, but not the public as such. I often see a car parked in my turnaround space and see someone sitting on the Buddha Bench in the new Meditation garden. That makes it all worthwhile.
And sorry for the lousy layout - Blogger screws up yet again!
