It’s a banner year for my clematis. I’m not sure why, but this year it is spectacular with more blooms than I’ve ever had before. Could it be the mild winter, rainy spring and now warm summer? I’m not sure, but this little plant has been the focal point of my front yard for the last few weeks!

I thought that I was photographing a window pane and flowers. Then it dawned on me that the person on the other side of the window was wearing the same outfit and had the same camera as I did. For crying out loud, it was mirrored glass in that window pane! Who knew? Duh!

Why buy daisies at the garden center when they grow wild in my back yard?

It’s a tranquil place where people come to enjoy a picnic lunch, wander through the gift shop, tour the gardens, see the animals, buy live plants, and visit the labyrinth. The one common denominator is that most everyone has a camera of one type or another to capture the beauty of the lavender garden. This couple was sitting in the gazebo enjoying the early evening sounds of buzzing bumble bees and chirping birds.

The lavender is planted in rows – one row of purple and then one row of white across the garden. The white plants weren’t in full bloom yet when I visited and so the colors were purple/green/purple/green, etc. Imagine looking out of the windows from the farm across the road and seeing this beautiful field of color! Breathtaking!
