We are at the peak of fall color. A good wind yesterday saw leaves falling like rain. They look so pretty on the ground along the laneway that I'm reluctant to mow over them or rake them up.

WOW Yvonne!! Everything is SO beautiful!! You know I've noticed something about your place...there is never a bad time of year!!
ReplyDeleteI love the composition of your shrub borders. The colours and textures work beautifully together. I strive to one day make my garden look like yours. :-D

Actually there is one time when the garden is not ready for prime time viewing, and that's in the early spring - late April and early May - just after the grasses have been cut down. See this post for pictures: http://countrygardener.blogspot.com/2008/04/big-ornamental-grasses-clean-up.html
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Daizy. Great to have you along on the garden trip! Now, you'll just have to find a way to keep inspired over the winter.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Yvonne
Breathtaking - Yvonne.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to have mature trees in and around your property to complement your beautiful borders.

Really lovely pictures of your garden. Is that a hydrangrea in the third picture? Could you tell me the type - it is absolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHi Teresa: Yes, it's Hydrangea 'Limelight'. It comes out in lime-toned white, and in the fall looks like it does here. When the plant was small, the flowers looked too big for it, but now they look just right.
ReplyDeletewe have been having just the perfect fall weather haven't we?
