Took the day off on Monday for a trip to Longwood Gardens. Thought I would share a few pictures...
Got an old stump? I think this is a great idea for a birdbath. Seemed well received by the Longwood bird residents too!
My favorite of Longwood's summer displays are the water lilies - hands down. So many gorgeous dragonflies to look at too.
One of my favorite new flowers (new to me that is) - Throatwort. I think that I am not in the right zone to grow this though. Maybe as an annual?
Another favorite I hadn't heard of before, Showy Hebe. I just adore purples and blues in the garden...
