Here’s that pink evergreen azalea up close, just coming into bloom. It’s one of my favorites.
I planted this chain tree as a tiny seedling.
A rhododendron in the back yard.
Can’t help it, I have a passion for green. This mingling dead nettle and sweet woodruff make a lush carpet in shady spots. The dead nettle blooms yellow and the sweet woodruff sprinkles the carpet with white.
Just wanted to finish up with some color – verbena and geranium in one of my deck pots.
Have a beautiful day!
Breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos again, your garden's like a rainbow Leslie. It must be a great place to relax with your family. All your hard work is paying off.
ReplyDeleteMy rhododendron has only started blooming in the past week, lots of buds still to open, but I've only one cluster of gorgeous pink flowers open on it so far. Yours is beautifully full of blooms, I love the rich colour too. Our Lilac tree planted in memory of our lovely labrador we lost in 2005, is very heavy with flowers, and smells heavenly.
What a stunning Garden you have Leslie.Full of colour.My garden is just starting to come into bloom.At least my plants will be able to flower this year as last year my Bearded Collie puppy bite most the heads off my plants.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely Weekend

Beautiful Leslie! If my yard looked as beautiful I would spend all my time outside!
ReplyDeleteYOur garden is beautiful, Leslie! It is apparent that it has taken many years and much love and dedication to cultivate. Wishing you beautiful weather to enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteThe colours are so fresh, so vibrant, so Spring like. Like your cards, the planning is immaculate. I can almost breathe in the freshness. There's nothing like it. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your lovely garden through these photos. Wishing you many warm and sunny hours to enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteI have a lilac azalea coming into flower now and hopefully will continue till the sprink, if our winter is not too severe. This one really seems to love the cooler weather as it has done that before.
Have a great weekend, with your pups.
Lovely pictures Leslie. It looks as if you have the perfect climate!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! What a beautiful place this is.
ReplyDeleteLove the green with pops of color here and there-Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos.
ReplyDeleteI've decided I want to move into your house just so I can see that beautiful garden every day! You have more than just a green thumb, you have a magic touch! Your photos are just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLeslie, your garden and flowers are heavenly! So beautiful and peaceful. Thank you for sharing such beauties of nature and your nurturing touch.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful healthy plants. You have green fingers Leslie.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Leslie, it must smell heavenly to stand in the midst of all that beauty! Stand, heck, give me a bench in the center of your garden with a book and a cool drink and I'd never leave. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteLeslie, your flower beds and flower pots are gorgeous. We did our landscaping 3 years ago, and they say every year it gets better - and it sure does. I love sitting on our back porch admiring the growth of the plants, as they flower and the birds feeding off the feeders - it's so relaxing and calming. Thanks for sharing your garden. Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteOh I wish I were more of a gardner, but working summer harvests has pretty much killed that desire...but I try ! Your garden beds are lovely!
ReplyDeleteLeslie, I did not realize how much I had missed your garden photo's. I am loving ALL your gorgeous pictures. I think of you everyday as we enjoy so many of our mature plants that have or are blooming and were given to us by our long time gardening friend. A big thanks again Leslie. Happy Gardening, Nancy

What gorgeous pictures. Your garden and walkway looks BEAUTIFUL!!!
ReplyDeleteYour garden always looks so Beautiful and peaceful. I even love your stone path :)
ReplyDeleteSigh. I love to see these gorgeous plants, thriving and green and of course, love the flowers too. You've got a nice mix of color and texture in your garden, Leslie!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful to look at in photos, but no comparison with experiencing the garden in person, right Leslie? I've grown more appreciative of foliage over the years. I now pay special attention to that when selecting new plants. Linda
ReplyDeleteWish I could come sip tea on your patio! You certainly have a green thumb!
