Flowers for Julie


Pittosporum Irene Paterson, Alstromera seed heads, Rosa Francis Dubreuil, Sacred Bamboo & Hydrangea

I spent the afternoon with Julie -  sipping tea and enjoying Julie's homemade Lemon-meringue-pie whilst looking out onto her beautiful front garden from under the veranda.  So much to admire and yet another source of inspiration.  Of particular note for this visit is how her garden border out the back has progressed.  Such a kaleidoscope of colour and a variety of plant shapes and forms makes for a very pleasing effect. The front of the border is shaped with serpentine curves and a break part way along provides a gravel path which will lead to a stunning gate (yet to be installed but I have seen it in storage) with a well placed conifer on each side of the path.  This garden is obviously a great source of joy to Julie and such a credit to her as it is not only beautiful but also very large.
