This one was growing at the ranch. It was in full sun and it was the smallest.
We found our favorite garden just down the street from us. It was a small yard that the owners had taken and made into several different rooms with seating. No matter where you were, there was a place to sit. They had even Incorporated old building materials into their design. Pillars, old fences and several estate sale finds. Cousin Linda and I were jealous. Apparently, this owner gets to all the yard and estates sale before us and buys all the cool stuff. This was a view into one of their rooms. I believe this room is mainly their veggie garden, but beautiful none the less.
They also had an artichoke. It was in a more mature state.
There were foxglove, don't worry I didn't pick any. I wish I could get it to grow in my yard. But alas, I don't have enough sun.
Here is a full blown choke. This one grew on the other side of the canyon and it was almost spent.
This hosta was amazing! The leaves were as watermelons! I know it is hard to see, but they were gigantic. Cousin Linda put her foot in as reference. I tried, but I keep tipping over. I had a sinus headache and wasn't to steady on my feet. They had several of these hostas. Lovely!
The man of the house made this waterfall out of found objects. It was a little one, but it wasn't over done. That's not a real lizard. But that is a real plant. It looks very happy right there.
And of course, there were California poppies, and the bumble bees that go with them. I was smitten with these cute chubby guys. They would spin themselves around the stamens. I was captivated, and a little scared.
It was a beautiful day and we saw many beautiful flowers. Great weekend!How was your weekend?
Take care, Brandie
