Took camera on my walk...
the very 1st pic is a garden planted & maintained
by a 96 year old lady. AMAZING.
late in planting due to bad weather.
goes all the way to the back of her property.

What beautiful colors! How awesome is it that they're all in bloom at the same time.

Where are you 'in hiding' at?

So very beautiful and great photography! You should choose one to make into a quilt, if you do art quilts. It would be awesome!

Very pretty flowers. Both my grandmothers had gardens, beautiful flowers all the time and fresh veggies during the summer and fall.

Her garden is beautiful. I wish mine looked that good.

Amazing garden for a 96 yr old woman to tend! The pictures of the other flowers from other yards are spectacular! The variety of roses are so lovely! Some of the flowers I am not familiar with, but they sure are pretty! Thanks for sharing with us :)

The balloon flower is just beautiful in white. I've seen it in blue before, but never white. So pretty.

All of your pictures are gorgeous, you have such pretty flowers in your area of the country. :thumbup:

Those are soooo pretty. I can't believe she's still soo active, that's awesome.

Do you happen to know what pic I think 18 is (the little pink flowers) after the coreopsis?

redquilter 06-19-2011 04:19 PM

What a gorgeous garden. Makes me feel a bit guilty because I've been moaning and groaning that my little postage stamp is getting to be a lot of work. You take beautiful photos.

tmw 06-19-2011 04:23 PM

oh, i hope she can do this for many more years to come, can you tell her how many of us like her flowers.

it's one of the humming bird plants.
the one I have in my yard has bright red flowers instead of pink.
will try to look at garden center next time I go over.
