Hello everyone,
I hope you had a lovely weekend.
Last week our garden was on a tour
with Allan Armitage and a lovely group
of garden enthusiasts.
They were coming to our garden
after breakfast so we got up early to
do some last minute deadheading and
bouquets etc.
The morning started off cool as
you can see by the mist on the pond.
It was the perfect morning for a tour!
Picking off all the old
blooms on the daylilies (deadheading).
Another bouquet to pick.
Finally, they arrived! Do I
look a little star struck? It
was so nice to meet Allan Armitage
in person ,as for years I used to
devour his articles in Fine Gardening.
Mr. Armitage went around the garden teaching
interesting tidbits about plants.
August is daylily season here and we have hundreds
of them in various sizes and colors.
The Annebelle hydrangeas also are putting on
a good show.
The south side of our home and garden.
Several of my daylilies have reverted back
to orange it seems ~ has that happened to you?
Well ,it was a fun morning and now do you
have time for a little relaxation in the hammock
under a shady tree?
Shh! We won't wake you if you
have fallen asleep on the hammock.
On Saturday evening we had some lovely Island
visitors for a garden tour and I enjoyed chatting with
them as well!
Now,the focus is on my upcoming garden tea
and I have a few tours from Japan in the next week as
well but I hope to see you soon. I have lots of pics
to share just need some time to go through them.
Hope you have a lovely day!
Carolyn
