And more from the Boothbay Botanical Garden I visited a week or so ago.
One of the things I especially love about the place is the stonework. It's very much what I would love to have in my own yard, assuming I had that much money to spend on my gardens (though wouldn't that be a treat).
Of course, creating all that would be quite an undertaking and probably fall under the category of extravagant, at least by my standards. The flowers on the other hand, those would be easier to duplicate...
Maybe some day my hydrangeas will look so fabulous. They're only two years old so they've got a ways to go to, but...ooh la la. Or maybe I could grow some of these pink beauties...
But I have to say, one of my favorites was this stunning Dahlia.
Oh, to have that gracing my gardens every August.
I really like the stonework as well. They made it all look very natural.
ReplyDeleteI agree.
DeleteVery calming looking those gardens.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think flowers are calming, too, just contemplating how amazingly pretty they are...
DeleteLove the stonework and the flowers--especially the dahlia.
ReplyDeleteI adore the dahlia.
DeleteJust lovely!
ReplyDeleteI concur!
DeleteI love that stonework, especially those steps.

They're so intriguing aren't they?
DeleteOur Botanic gardens also features gorgeous stonework. Which fills me with lust and longing. Despite not having the money or the room.
ReplyDeleteLove that dahlia...
Oh yes, lots of lust and longing, and while I have a little room, I definitely don't have that kind of money to spend on my yard - tho wouldn't it be nice...
DeleteI would love to have this in our yard, as well.
ReplyDelete*sigh* me too.
DeleteThe stonework is great. Perhaps you can "borrow" those images to use in a future novel.
ReplyDeleteOr borrow the images to create what I want someday when I'm rich and famous...:)
DeleteI would love to have a fountain in my back yard. I'm hoping to create a little butterfly garden sometime.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I saw a gorgeous butterfly garden at Leu gardens in Orlando - so pretty and so many butterflies!
DeleteLovely! And you have reminded me. I need to get out and water my hydrangeas. They are gasping!
ReplyDeleteMine were, too. I watered them yesterday and they look much happier this morning.
DeleteOh, what a beautiful place! Looks like a wonderful place to lose an afternoon!
ReplyDeleteI think I enjoyed it it more than my brother and son. My son was disappointed not to see more birds.
DeleteBeautiful pictures! You would LOVE our Longwood Gardens -- especially their nighttime light show. If you ever come to PA, I know where I'm taking you!
ReplyDeleteA nighttime light show sounds pretty cool.
