Yes I know, it's July now, however, these photos were taken on June 26th when
Jeffrey Bale visited my garden. He was kind enough to share the photos he took during his visit, so I thought I'd turn them into a blog post. It's always interesting to see how someone else views my garden...
At the end of the sidewalk to the front door (above) is this iconic pair of Agave ovatifolia 'Frosty Blue'.
Succulents growing at the base of
Holman's trunk include a few semponium (a cross between sempervivum and aeonium) from
Little Prince.
The driveway containers with agaves, sarracenia, aeonium, basil, tomatoes...
The pathway to the patio...
To the right.
Bromeliad dish.
Carnivorous corner.
Behind the bench.
New growth on Rhododendron sinogrande.
Rhododendron sinogrande on the left, the sort of hazy shrub in the middle is Edgeworthia chrysantha 'Akebono'.
Woodwardia unigemmata
Rhododendron pachysanthum
Looking back towards were we were.
Staghorns hanging from the Albizia julibrissin 'Summer Chocolate'.
The planting area just to the right of the steps down to the patio.
Looking back at the side of our garage.
Pyrrosia lingua planters on the side of the garage.
The shade pavilion and patio.
Containers on the patio.
And a look up at the fence and the area under the shade pavilion. Thanks for visiting and taking photos
Jeffrey!

Great seeing your garden through the eyes of somebody else, especially a visual artist like Jeffrey.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed the look.
DeleteWhat a paradise! I'm curious -if you had to pick your favorite month of the garden what would it be? I'm envious of your special rhododendrons, damn. It was good to see it through Jeffrey's eyes. The Liberty news is exciting.
ReplyDeleteFavorite month... maybe June? Things have come into their own and are starting to show their summer glory, but yet there's still a bit of spring freshness. I was going to say July, but this month is always packed full events on the calendar and it feels like I don't get to spend enough time in the garden. August is a contender as well, as things slow down and I spend more time out there just enjoying it all.
DeleteStill looking gorgeous. I am always surprised by what visitors see and what angles they photograph from.
ReplyDeleteAh, wonderful to see your name! Hope you are well Linda.
DeleteI always enjoy seeing your garden from different perspectives. It never disappoints.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kris. I hope maybe you'll join up with the Fling in Portland next summer?
DeleteDifferent angles, but all the good stuff got in. A cool idea to do a post with someone else's point of (camera) view. I certainly spotted more potted aeonium than before.
ReplyDeleteThe "Containers on the patio", photo 22: what's growing down (or up) the corner wall?
The info on Agave Liberty is very cool. They didn't say if the bit they cut off has newly rooted. I hope it did.

Things are growing both up and down! Down from the top is Lonicera crassifolia and up from the bottom is Ficus pumila 'Monier's Hardy'. I also noticed there was no mention of the decapitated bit...
DeleteVery nice photographs! It's always fun to see gardens from different angles and perspectives. I love you pathways, Loree.
