Simply gorgeous! Sigh...
ReplyDeleteEarly spring!!! (one can hope)
DeleteThose were the days! Stunning! Acanthus sennii and Alstoemeria isabellana? Boy, I wish those were hardier!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nudge Tim, I should have identified the plants! (done now). And yes...I do understand the desire for lower hardiness numbers...oh I do.
DeleteWhat a lovely combination! I love the textures you've combined here with the dramatic lighting. We all need a reminder of summer on these January days. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you too!
DeleteBarbra Streisand is singing "Memories, light the corners of my mind..." in my brain. Those were the days, my friend, we thought they'd never end... Obviously this warm picture makes me want to sing. Thanks for helping us remember.
ReplyDeleteYou know how you sometimes just repeat the lyrics mindlessly, without ever questioning if what you thought they were saying ever made sense? Wait, of course not. You wouldn't do that. I do. "Memories, light the corners of my mind..." has always been "Memories, like the corners of my mind..." ha! Now I know...
DeleteThat time will come again and I'm sure your garden will be just as beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kris!
DeleteAll that sun looks so warm!
ReplyDeleteAnd warm it was. Too warm for some.
DeleteWas ordering plants today to take my mind off the weather. But I kept looking out the windows trying to remember what the garden looks like without snow, thinking about where I would put things. Hope your snow has melted.
ReplyDeleteI'd offer you the same wish but I doubt a melt will occur there anytime soon. Ours is 99.5% gone.
DeleteAh, lovely! Hope the two Acanthus sennii that I planted last fall survive the winter and come back well.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Even your agaves in snow are beautiful (if deadly), but I'm sure your garden will look just as good as this again next late spring!
