Beautiful garden and really nice photography! I've never seen a pineapple guava or the ice plant.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful garden - I so want a fountain in my garden! Your flower closeups are magnificent.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for the wonderful compliments!
ReplyDeleteI went back and added the rest of the botannical names, didn't realize there would be so many gardeners peeking in. :-)

Clapping, I am clapping my hands together for two reasons. Your garden looks like the happiest place on earth and your photographs show your real passion photography.

Your garden looks very well established for only 3 years old. How wonderful!! I love the aloe plant and I am inspired to plant Red Hot Poker, which I have only seen in magazines.
ReplyDeleteHappy Outdoor Wednesday!

ReplyDeleteCandy,
ReplyDeleteI had to share these with my son who had an internship at Longwood Gardens this summer. He liked them..."Very nice." were his exact words.
From this guy that is high praise.
Beautiful.

All I can say, your garden is heaven on earth. What I would not give just to really see it, and have a garden a tiny bit like yours. Beautiful, beautiful.
ReplyDeleteCandy, your gardens are just beautiful and the flowers you captured with your camera are exquisite. Thanks for sharing them with us. I hope you are having a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much fellow garden lovers! And a special thanks to your son Becky :-)
ReplyDeleteIt is a work still in the process of becoming what I see in my minds eye.
