Hello everyone,
I hope you all enjoyed your weekend. We had enjoyed a garden tour here on Saturday and a Father's Day brunch on our veranda on Sunday. We are still getting lovely sunshine but the fields of potatoes are so dry that we are hoping for a good rain soon..
This is the back of our barn-did you notice we painted it. It used to be dark green and now it is' speckled trout' from Bher.
The Preston lilacs are now coming into bloom.We have a few varieties and I have forgotten which one this is.
The Miss Kim lilac standards are also blooming now and you can smell their lovely fragrance for quite a distance.
The roses are starting to bloom this one is Therese Bugnet.
The honeysuckle rivals the lilac for fragrance-I love stepping into the garden and catching a whiff of it .
The alliums,sweet rocket and lupins are blooming around the picket fence.
The earliest peony to bloom is this one from my Dad's garden many years ago. I am happy to have this reminder of him as he passed away 17 years ago. Dad enjoyed gardening too and encouraged me to start a garden here.about 20 years ago now. I think he would be happy with it now!
This is Scarlett O'Hara, a single peony.
Magnificum geranium is a hardy perennial and I love it and have divided and moved it all around our garden.
An alpine clematis blooming over the arbor.
The honeysuckle on the other side of the arbor.I have a few of these that I rooted from an old one at my daughters house.
Well,just a little peek at some of the beauty in the garden now.
Hope you have a wonderful day and thank you for visiting me.
Carolyn

Just beautiful, Carolyn! I wish I could take the in-person garden tour, but this will work for me!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful garden you have - full of such magnificent blooms. It must require so many hours of worK! I love your speckled trout barn and think it provides a lovely contrast to the beautiful green leaves. Thanks for the garden tour. I would have enjoyed seeing it in person but this is a wonderful glimpse of your spectacular garden!
ReplyDeleteHello Carolyn:
ReplyDeleteYour garden is looking wonderful as, we suspect, is normally the case. It is such a delight to see a garden where everything is so very well grown and ordered. The scents of an evening, when always more pronounced, must be lovely.
Blissful surroundings at your place!! Gorgeous as always!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful gardens! Lots of color in your lovely garden.
