OK, I know, I keep sharing gardens in my part of the world. I am finding gardens is my thing in springtime for sure, but maybe even in other seasons too. This post is picture heavy, but enjoy!! I certainly enjoyed snapping pictures and enjoying each cloudy, spring day.
Adelman's Peony Gardens was the goal this week. You know I am always up for an adventure.
I did come home with 6 peony buds, which are now in full bloom in my apartment.
They are perfection and don't really look real, but they are.
But, we found a new garden too. My daughter, Jill, took us to one near her house, the Rare Plant Institute. It has a sale one weekend a year in their greenhouses. The parking lot was full of plant lovers and kids too. The kids may not have been as thrilled, but what an amazing adventure to learn in the garden.
There were several ponds at the top of the hill. Whew! I made it up the hill and was greeted with this beauty. Oh how I love calla lilies.
They also had a vineyard and were doing a wine tasting. In the distance you can see the greenhouses and parking lot.
I don't know what this plant is called, but my daughter took a small one home. I will be watching it grow in her garden now. This is the plant she went for. It was quite spectacular. She is creating a pink and black garden in front of her house. How fun and what a combination of colors.
We were greeted by this sea of rock garden flowers. Oh how I wished I could bring a bunch of them home, but sadly my little patio is already full.
No matter that only one peony bouquet came home with me, it was a delight to my soul.
What is delighting your soul this week?
Sending love,
Marilyn
