If anyone were to ask me my favorite color, I would automatically say "blue". But really, it's green. Green in all of its shades and forms and textures, from deep dark pine green to raving chartreuse.
This time of the year we celebrate flowers, and rightly so. But April (and May) showers also bring the glowing greens of spring, which will mellow into summer, lasting as flowers fade.
It rained most of the day, and it's still drippy and sodden, but I took a stroll around my garden just to appreciate the way a cloudy sky and rain drops make the greens pop.
Not all foliage is green, and it is that contrast with reds and golds and creams that sets off the green.

I'm totally in awe of your garden. Absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMe,too. They say that Ireland has the most shades of green, but I dare say that your garden could give them a run for their money!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!
I agree your garden/yard is something else. Could be featured in any magazine and hold its own. A great hobby-love your gorgeous photos. well done.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is amazing. There are no words to describe it adequately.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is beautiful! My poor garden suffers from poor soil, summer heat and my love of travel. I am working on the soil but there is not much I can do about the heat. I grow lots of iris and daylilies as they are tolerant of the heat and neglect.
ReplyDeleteWow, Linda! You need to set up a ticket booth on your front yard so everybody can come and enjoy your garden. It's absolutely amazing!
ReplyDeletewow! really a breath taking garden, love 'em soooo much, wish I could sit there wif a cuppa tea enjoying the beautiful scenery
ReplyDeleteYour garden is spectacular. Makes me green with envy! When I was a kid, blue-green was my favorite crayon because I liked both colors so much. Now I couldn't pick a favorite color. It changes from day to day depending on my mood I suppose.
