a garden update. a nature walk through the neighborhood
we are pretty lucky to live in this neighborhood
friendly neighbors, beautiful homes and whether on the sidewalks or on people’s front yards, there are always beautiful flowers to admire
Lily and i often go for nature walks around the neighborhood to do just that
admire (and smell) the flowers
joining Annie with how does your garden grow?

HOw wonderful to see photographs of that beautiful area you live in and Lily – you’re spoiling us! A fabulous collection again, I do love these brights as you know 🙂
To answer your question, the Glasshouse at Wisley has a tropical zone set to c.28 degrees which is how they can grow all those amazing orchids and have exotic butterflies to stay. It always makes me smile going there x

There’s something ever so Wizard of Oz about Lily’s shoes – how fun! Oh how great to be able to setoff an walk round the neighbour hood and see all that. In the UK we’d all need to get in a car and drive to a National Trust Glasshouse to see such beauty.
I am literally sniffing at the screen here! What a smashing range of colours – oh these make me HAPPY 🙂
Thank you thank you thank you for joining in again and sharing you lovely lady! x

Loving your pictures once again, especially the first few with the intricate flowers. I really think they look like glass beads, so delicate.
