2014 Garden Memories
. . . in the Hutchings gardens
 |
| A friendly greeting awaits you at the Hutchings home. |
 |
| Potted petunias totem. How did they do that? |
 |
| An exotic branched sculpture remains after Nate pruned a contorted filbert that had been hit by the eastern filbert blight. |
 |
| The tree now forms a vibrant focal point in the back yard . . . |
 |
| and has become a unique support for pretty hanging baskets. (Latest word is that there is new growth at the base of the tree!) |
 |
| A clump of TB 'Rare Treat' makes a lovely show. |
 |
| Smooth, sword-like iris foliage creates a strong textural contrast against the rugged pale boulder and feathery silver-leaved artemesia. |
 |
| Pretty iris |
 |
| Irises and daylilies highlight the plantings that surround a naturalistic pond in a picturesque corner of Diamond Rise Gardens. |
 |
| Another pretty iris |
 |
| More pretty irises |
Mr. Jack O'Lantern keeps a watchful eye on comings and growings.
Don't forget to wave goodbye as you leave.
. . . at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Hamilton, Ontario

| TB 'Insaniac', one of my favorites last spring at the RBG Laking Gardens which are presently undergoing an extensive renovation. |
