I love your analysis of the color here. I always benefit from a different eye on things and you've opened mine – again!
Oh, Jane, thanks so much. We saw many beautiful gardens in Portland. Sometimes it takes me a while to process what I've learned.
A great summary. I was struck by the way plants and furniture were matched in Portland
Yes, me, too.
Just today I was dreaming of a dedicated utility area, I love the one in this garden.
Thank you thank you! This is exactly what I needed during this dreadful cold spell!
Hi Helen,
ahh, colour in the garden. A faint memory from last fall, thanks for reminding us what will be around the corner.
Colour therapy, much needed during this brutal February!
What a wonderful post! I am looking at my white car now and thinking that perhaps I need a different colour one.
OMG, All that color is making me dizzy. Just beautiful! I think I need a more gradual reintroduction, though, after this color-starved winter! -Jean
This is lovely! Thank you so much! Great photographs and wish I had the designing eye of the gardener, too.
