Crape Myrtle "Black Diamond - Crimson Red"
yes - i most definitely have a penchant for plants that are a bit more unusual and unexpected. in the background to the right is the veg garden. just beyond, is a garden of sub-tropical Cannas and Red Hot Pokers. greenhouse is just beyond
Crinum Lily "Milk and Wine"....maybe?
this is an old heirloom that was on the property already, when we bought our house. i divided it and moved it 3 years ago. finally, this clump has bloomed!
ivy growing up the oak - and a bit of whimsy. you can see the Zen Bridge the H made, just in the background.
a place my dear husband has named "The Meditation Station". it is made entirely of scrap wood and stuff he had in his shed. he made the bench from a dead branch he removed from the Cedar Tree. i painted it and added all the landscaping/plantings/decor/statuary.
i just like this pic, LOL
the statue of our old pooch Tarheel needs painting again. gosh, i still miss him sometimes.
