Blomidon Visit

Yesterday, our garden club had lunch at a well-loved local spot, the Blomidon Inn.  Two days of wind and rain were just ending as we enjoyed our lunch, the gardens, and the gift shop.


After living in this area for a couple decades, I had never wandered through this property.  It was about time!

Those hibiscus are wonderful, and blue hydrangeas are a favourite of mine.


This next corner looks like a scene from the Danger Garden.
Notice the weeping willow and the goutweed, below!  They seem under control.  Then, there is the spider plant being serenaded.  I say it's a matter of going from the ridiculous to the sublime.  The last photo is of some striking New Zealand flax.  I won't bother informing you of the Latin in this post.  



I'm sure the plants are happy to be well-watered, at last, and we gardeners are always grateful for times to gather.
