A to Z Challenge - G is for Garden



It's cold. It's grey. It's been snowing. It's a good day to dream about a garden - vibrant with colour and fragrance, magnificent and without limit.

I love what happens in the forest, without any hand planting, or watering, or weeding.









Sophie loves the forest Trilliums

I truly have neither the diligence nor the talent to manage much beyond hanging baskets and a few planters filled with hardy blooms that tolerate full sun and my frequent neglect.

  3. LOve all the beautiful pictures April. Especially the blossoms and the rose.
    Guess what? I have an identical hibiscus (yellow petals with a hint of pink in the middle) growing in two pots this year AND yellow lantana which is growing in another pot by itself. I may mix them up for a grander display next year:)
    All the best for the rest of the challenge.

    1. Thank you, Lisa. The pup, Sophie, thanks you too. She can hardly wait for the trilliums to bloom in the forest again.
      Take care.
