I love walking round my garden in the mornings…. this week especially since the Buddleja’s and Echinacea’s have opened their fragrant scent to the world again, busy bees and butterflies have been zooming and fluttering around all the flowers. From oregano, lavender, salvia’s and sage…. even the mint has been discovered as a treat!
A true haven, and I have been absorbed in the beautiful designs on the wings of all the different buterflies I have spotted.
When the Eupatorium Atropruperea comes into flower there will be another feast for the butterflies and bees to enjoy….
The fragrance in the garden is just heavently at the moment.. even my kids notice!!!
Enjoy, and happy gardening!
Love Carolyn

I promised you all to post the photo’s I took during my last visit at the private gardens of Piet and Anja Oudolf. These are taken with my iphone… so excuse the quality…. and on the last saturday of June. I was very lucky it was beautiful weather… extremely humid and walking into the gardens was just a heavenly experience… I was with a friend and we were both breath taken… the photo’s give a great impression, but to actually be there is as if walking into a painting of Van Gogh or Gaugin…. stunning and Piet is a true genius.
Hope you enjoy them… I did not write down all the names of the plants, but if you are really interested i can discover what they they are.
The world, our planet is designed to give you joy and beauty….
For me it was a most wonderful experience… the sunshine was perfect, the light was perfect, the silence was perfect.. a true moment of Bliss and joy which I will never forget…. grateful I was able to be part of that moment of that gift!
Love Carolyn
