Foliage follow-up to Bloom Day is hosted by Pam Penick of Digging Garden blog.
Isn't it weird that the white stone classical lady statue appears to be checking her iPhone?
Rather than focus on the beautiful foliage of particular plants, here is a nearby garden that is mostly foliage due to its luxurious and glorious size. More than anything else, this is a garden of mature trees. I've blogged about this garden before, but another visit is sheer pleasure.
Citrus in pots, columns to echo the Italian Cypress
Just as good looking from the other direction:

That stone lady is still on her phone:
There's plenty of color in the understory plantings, but it isn't really necessary.
Paths echo tree trunks...
Beautifully maintained...
Oops, flowers. Sorry!

DeleteBeautiful garden, even though it is classical and formal it looks inviting.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check, perhaps the lady is sending e-vites to a party.
Yes even though it is classic in style, it's got a friendly family vibe.
DeleteAt least she's not texting while shes driving... Ohh, for some magnificent hardscaping !
