The Summer Garden



 Hello everyone,
          It is time for another garden tour-after all it has been a few days since I drug you around! The daylillies are putting on a great show now. I have hundreds of them so I don't know all of their names.
 I love this rose!




 I love clematis and roses together. The rose is William Baffin and I think the clematis is Multi Blue.


 Martha's Garden-Martha is the statue. this is mainly a white garden.
 A garden variety of loosestrife and white monkshood.

 Julia Child again.

 Our Hillside Garden.




 This is down toward our pond.
 Don't you love this beautiful blue phlox???
 Monkshood and hydrangea.
 A pretty rose pink clematis-sorry,her name escapes me.
 Love this Abundance clematis too.
 This was my favorite shot on my early morning tour of the garden- see the dew on the roses?
 Shooting from our balcony toward the hillside garden.
 Well, that is our tour for today but don't worry it won't be long until my next tour! Ha! Ha!

Last week I had my very first photo shoot of a couple of other Island gardens for a Canadian magazine-Saltscapes!  I was so excited(and a bit nervous) to do this! I am looking forward to seeing them in print soon.

Thank you for visiting and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Your gardens are absolutely stunning! I really enjoyed the tour today. You have a lot of beauty, a lot of color, and everything looks lush. Our gardens are past peak - more like late August than late July - it's because of our heat and drought. Have a great week, and congrats on your magazine photo shoot!

Pure bliss, all looks wonderful♪ Absolutely beautiful photos of your lovely garden. in my personal your blue garden toward the pond is my dreamy. mostly.. blue, purple and white, they are my favorite colors because I seemed to feel a very serene atmosphere and I think they look so lovely against all the green, so I am very fond of your blue garden. With many stunning photography,close up from distance and all details which I can immage the map of your plants, you are a fabulous landscape artist.thumb up.

Breathtaking and absolutely gorgeous, Carolyn! What a wonderful visit I had in your garden tonight! :) I think the name of that clematis you couldn't think of is 'Nelly Moser'?

I am spending a month in Washington State, Carolyn, and because the climate is similar to PEI, I am enjoying some of the same varieties and colors in your gorgeous garden. However......no one photographs flowers (and china) as exquisitely as you do!

I'd love to see your photos for the magazine. Please let us know when it is available.

Have a blessed weekend!

Your garden is lovely as always. We've moved to Colorado so I have to start over on the garden. We are in a drought so I'm not going to do much till it's over. I would feel guilty watering extra when the ranchers and farmers are sacrificing. Hopefully next year. I'll have to get someone in here to rototill for me as from what I hear, the soil is rocky past 10". In the meantime, I have two pots of petunias and one of impatiens.

So in the meantime, I'll admire yours!!!!

Can I take the picture of The Julia Child rose in early morning, to my grandchild, named yesterday christening Julia??

We had wild phlox where I lived as a child. I still have a soft spot for phlox.

Absolutely gorgeous garden!
