Hello everyone,
It has been hot and sunny here lately(27 Celsius) and the garden is changing daily so I thought I would take you on a little stroll through the garden again. It seems I always have favorite places in the garden and lately I think this corner of the garden in the picket fence area is it.(above)
This is the other side of the picket fence garden.
Looking out the kitchen window at the garden makes doing dishes a pleasure.
The clematis are blooming in several parts of the garden.
The delphinium are starting to fade-but they are so pretty while they last.
The phlox is just starting to bloom-I have many varieties in different colors.
Lots of daylilies are blooming and the hydrangeas(these are Annabelles).
Annabelle and Jackmani clematis.
Clematis Abundance with Sally Holmes rose in background.
Annual poppy-reseeds profusely but easy to remove extras and so pretty.
Thalictrum delavayi 'Hewitts Double'
daylily and monkshood
Endless Summer hydrangea
Well, there is lots more to see but I will save that for another day.
Thank you for coming for a little stroll through the garden with me.
Take care,
Carolyn
Thank you for sharing your lovely garden..I enjoyed the stroll! Have a good week!

Beautiful garden as usual. I had to laugh when you mentioned removing "extras". No such thing here! Thanks for the spin around your beauty--Jacqueline

Hi Carolyn.. Thanks for the amazing tour! I have a little plant thats name is a mystery to me, just today I was thinking I have to figure it out! Then here you are solving my mystery! It's a Thalictrum delavayi, not double, but I know where to look now! Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteBella
Exquisite, as always!
ReplyDeleteHands down, the most beautiful garden I've ever seen ♥
ReplyDeleteCarolyn,
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely place to stroll and see such beauty! Very enjoyable place to sit and take it all in.
God bless,

I enjoyed the "walk" through your garden today, as usual. Those poppies are so nice and frilly, and I love the Annabelles.
ReplyDeleteFoto incantevoli, non ti smentisci mai...ho ingrandito ogni singola foto per potermela godere il più possibile...

Absolutely wonderful Carolyn, you are to be congratulated .... keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteYour gardens are beautiful and an inspiration. To have your son's wedding there must have been wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have a magnificent garden, Carolyn...so many varieties and colors of flowers! It must be lovely. Thanks for the tours. Keep them up, please. Thank you. Susan
ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteIt is pure joy to visit your blog. Can´t imagine how many hours it takes a day for you to keep your garden so lush and beautiful.
Have a nice summerday,
Sanna
wonderful garden
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Carolyn! I so enjoyed the stroll!~Hugs, Patti
ReplyDeleteOh, I DO love your garden and wish that mine could look like yours, but I guess it'll never do. As long as my DH wants to be able to drive here and there I can't plant as I want, lol. But I watch and hopefully learn lots of things.
ReplyDeleteJust love the Thalictrum delavayi you have.
Hope you have a great day.
Love Elzie
Just looking at your photos of your garden is so inspirational, but if I can be there that would be even more heavenly. Gosh, how beautiful it would be surrounded by all this loveliness.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the Tour Carolyn*
Just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteYour garden looks like paradise! All those colours. It must make you very happy to see all that beauty around you!
I enjoyed the wedding pictures of your children in the sidebar. I never noticed them before. Your garden is the perfect place for a photoshoot!
I am glad the magazines arrived and you and your sister enjoyed them as well!!
Lieve groet, Madelief

What a lovely stroll it was! I have never seen pink poppies, they are really gorgeous. All of your flowers are, though.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Cindy S
Thank you for the wonderful stroll around your gardens Carolyn. I found it to be beautiful, and relaxing.
ReplyDeleteDebbie@houseatthelake
Absolutely, breathtakingly gorgeous! Thank you for sharing this beauty...Diana
ReplyDeleteYou must have an automatic watering system - I can't imagine you water the garden yourself. Do you get water shortages over there? And what do you do if there are? (I've just come in from an hour's garden watering - it's 10.20pm - which made me ask. xx
ReplyDeleteOh my! Simply divine!
ReplyDeleteHi Andi,
ReplyDeleteNo,we do not have a watering system but we are usually blest with enough rain here to keep the garden going and the grass green so I only water planters and windowboxes and maybe newly planted plants.Hopefully,we continue to get enough rain for the rest of the season!
Take care,
Carolyn
Thank you all for your lovely comments.
Caroline, yours is the kind of garden I dream about. How I'd love to have a garden like this. The TX heat doesn't allow such abundance though. Thanks for taking us along for a stroll. ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteAlways a pleasure to stroll through YOUR gardens! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteDD
Your garden is so lovely - I love the colors the curves, the vistas and viewpoints. I will sure enjoy ooking back through some of your other posts. I'm glad I discovered Aiken House this morning. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWonderful images, Carolyn! It's really at its peak, isn't it! Your day lilies are magnificent – ours are just starting here, a bit late for some reason. And I simply adore Thalictrum – it's a true fairy plant. Thank you for the tour! – g
ReplyDeleteDear Carolyn your gardens are as lovely as that other garden we just visited on your latest post... as enchanted indeed! Enjoy every minute in it!

Hi Carolyn
ReplyDeleteYour garden is so wonderful, especially the delphiniums! My garden is such a mess. It's been in the 90s for weeks now.
