Garden Pictures


I take a lot of pictures of plants and gardens and this is where I share them with you.  

I'm working on the best way to organize these pictures.  At the moment, I'm thinking of organizing by subject.   This will be an ongoing challenge to present you with all the pictures I'd like to share and still make it easy to find them.  

Here are the first steps in this process.

Echinacea (Coneflower) are one of my favourite plants for full hot sunshine. Here are a few colors for you to pick from.





Annuals


salvia victoria blueI'm a big fan of using annuals in the garden.  Heck, these beauties bloom for extended times, in amazing shades and if you pick the species carefully, you can grow flowers just about anywhere.

Share your gardening pictures!

There are a lot of pictures I can show you (and will) about landscaping shots I've taken over the years.  I think these are idea shots - to get us thinking and dreaming of what we could do with our own gardens.

Birdhouses
.   I like taking pictures of these garden constructions and someday, I'm going to have a ton of them in my own garden.  For now, my favorite ones are the ones my kids made.

Container Gardening Pictures.   From the Hanging Gardens of Babylon to you.



No Idea How to Categorize


Fading flowers.   I like my flowers from the bud right through bloom to seedpod.  This means I have to find beauty in the fading flower itself.  And if you look, you'll find.
