Romantic gardens abound in the English countryside...
One garden visit that remains etched in my mind's eye is the beautifully serene, lush landscape
of Cothay Manor.

Citron Cachet! AIC Ptrizker Garden
Modern Wing of the Chicago Art Institute
I love the sharp tang of citron, or maybe I should say, chartreuse - the color of the chairs

in Chicago's Pritzker Garden.
It's the structure and evergreen forms of the landscape architecture that I'm drawn to when I visit this downtown setting.....

A Quiet Spell in my California Garden
The holiday season has arrived, with a Happy Hour time-out at a local restaurant.
This is a quiet period in my garden, although there are a few treasures in bloom. A remarkable plant, commonly called Australian Fuchsia, Correa 'Carmine Bells' blooms on and off for months on end.
The spreading shrubby specimen grows in our enclosed front patio outside my office window, its flowers visible when I shift my head just a bit to the left of the computer. In late Fall and during the Winter, this evergreen plant is visited by hummingbirds, much to my delight.
During this reflective time of year, I'm taking an opportunity to reprise memorable garden sojourns.
My visits to Portland never cease to amaze. Such a vibrant city, with an avid population of gardeners.
Here's a link to a post from my travels in Portland, musing on... 'what is a garden?'
For my U.S. friends, I hope you enjoyed Thanksgiving Day!
