The last one you've shown with its Japanese influences is beautiful--even a zigzag bridge, it looks like. I've seen camassia featured on other blogs, too, but I've never planted any in my own garden. Must remember to add this to my fall bulb list!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-16389705364206383502013-06-10T06:52:01.634-07:002013-06-10T06:52:01.634-07:00Jenifer girl !

I totally agree with you about seeing these other gardens in many lights .. not only the beautiful pictures that you take of them .. but the influence that they have on your ideas for your own gardens .. plus we get to see what you see and I love that .. I don't go on tours, I am not sure that there are any here in Kingston as it is ? haha<br />I too love the Japanese influence .. I think that is why I became obsessed with collecting Japanese Maples .. the whole relaxed serene atmosphere that they exude is what I look for.<br />We had to split our landscaping projects up into two years (finally had to make that decision) .. the stone pathways come first because it is a matter of being able to enjoy my many many walks back and forth to each section of the garden .. so fingers crossed what we propose as a budget will come through with this company !<br />Joy : )<br />Gorgeous pictures girl !

There is something about northern gardens in the springtime that always seems much more beautiful than southern gardens - I am not sure why.

The pond is so beautiful. We have a pond but we have the problem that there is a leak somewhere in the pond but where? We thought we found the leak yesterday and my husband Willem thought he solved the problem. But helas the waterlevel has been sinking down last night again. I hope we don't have to start over again. If you are thinking of buying Camassia find a place where she can lean on other plants and she needs a little bit moisty place. They are beautiful I can tell and will bring you a lot of joy in the first begin of te spring.<br />Have a wonderful weekend Jennifer.<br />Marijkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12848940570958437408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-59191732513543810162013-06-08T11:26:03.700-07:002013-06-08T11:26:03.700-07:00I must definitely get some Camassias I love their ...I must definitely get some Camassias I love their spikiness.

It seems like such a weird time for a tour. This garden is so beautiful. It has a tranquil feel but I like that it's Japanese influenced without embracing it as a theme. It feels more authentic. :o) Casa Mariposahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647089868277238456noreply@blogger.com
