I'm like Laurrie--I want to stroll down those pebbly paths myself. <br /><br />In recent years I've tried to add more late-blooming plants for fall color. You've given me lots of ideas from the 'Prairie Glow' Rudbeckia to the hedge maple--which is gorgeous by the way--to the persicaria. But my favorite of all has to be the Corydalis; those blue blooms are stunning! I've written that name down to check it out. Thanks for all the inspiration, Jennifer!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-19407210728848470372012-09-13T07:47:33.035-07:002012-09-13T07:47:33.035-07:00Wonderful photos of perennials and what a nursery....Wonderful photos of perennials and what a nursery. Nurseries here are rows of plants in pots. I've never been to nursery where there are gardens for inspiration and to show they plant can be used. My garden muses are many and varied but the late Tasha Tudor's gardening style is at the top of my list. Rosetta E. Clarkson continues to inspire me from her books. The gardens of friends and the Toledo Botanical garden are places I go to glean ideas and some times plants.

I know it will still take a long time before i can have shots as nice as yours! But how so wonderful to have gardens nearby to visit. It doesn't look like the Lost Horizon because plants there don't seem to be lost either!

Isn't it lovely? I'd never seen that sweet little Rudbeckia 'Prairie Glow' before, and of course now I just have to have it. The Kirengeshoma is delightful - will sulk without sufficient water. Have two varieties sold as K. palmata and K. palmata Koreana - have found my bees are too fat for #1 - they break the petals apart looking for pollen - the second with its flared petals suits my chubby bees much better.<br />BBarbarapchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09990013417063903768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-14988025546535094242012-09-12T05:36:07.630-07:002012-09-12T05:36:07.630-07:00Jennifer girl these pictures are so beautiful ..

We have some formal gardens in DC and garden centers with standard front-of-building landscaping but nothing like what you've been able to experience. It's really frustrating. I never even see tours for any private gardens except for spring tours. Maybe it's our hot, humid climate. I think you'd have to drag me out of a place like Lost Horizons. By the way, persicaria self seeds like a demon.Casa Mariposahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647089868277238456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-33970647762474776902012-09-11T17:21:22.046-07:002012-09-11T17:21:22.046-07:00Gorgeous display gardens!
