my black & white trip to the gardens

Had a wonderful time, beauty everywhere.  Begging to be taken. I honored that request. (with exception to the hammock, I am blessed to claim that as my own)

I want him

He sits waiting for me. He currently resides at the Botanical Garden’s Leaf & Petal. Isn’t he lovely. I’ll name him George.

Umbrella filled with gifts

The Camellia Garden Club’s last meeting until next Sept was yesterday. They instilled the officers & President, these flowers were for them. The woman who bought them all carried them thus. Outstanding!

Pink floats

Cement birdbath @ the Birmingham Botanical Gardens placed in the Camellia Green house before renovations (current) The petals must be from a Camellia flower.

funky reflections

I love this white vase I found at leaf & Petal, their Botanical garden store. The vase is a little funky, but the inside is orange, if they had more, I would have bought as many as I could. All colors look great in them. Maybe I should call them & beg them to order…

Hydrangeas, I can’t wait!

These are in Leaf & Petal so they have not bloomed naturally here yet. But mine have teeny tiny buds. My favorite time of year! We have about 15 Hydrangea’s around our house, all but one planted by us. The blossoms go in the ground one color & come up another color. I can’t wait…
