{Our 2012 Scilla Campanulata}

After the rough summer of 2011 with extreme heat and drought, the garden is not looking its best this spring. But I would love to show you the masses of our Scilla campanulata, also called Spanish blue bells as they originate from Spain and Portugal. For better images, look at my post from last year, link is below this post. 
Nestled in a bed of fall leaves...
Close to our gazebo and walk way...
This photo is from Saturday, the dogwood blossoms start falling off and the pink dogwood is still holding on to its blossoms, see to the left in photo.
Nice to see new green though! This is the view from the breakfast area from the bay window...
Anyone interested in making our Garden Tour + Tea/Coffee in the gazebo: Book an Event.

  6. Liebe Mariette,
    auch bei mir im Garten macht sich die eisige Kälte und große Trockenheit bemerkbar. Es will nicht so recht sprießen. Aber ich warte es geduldig ab.
    Deine Fotos sind wunderschön.
    Liebe Grüße

    Your garden is so beautiful, to see these pictures make me wonder how would it be in Summer time, and I guess will be fantastic, I'd love to book a tour in your garden and have a nice cup of tea in your gazebo, I bet it would be lovely...but I'm so far from you, but who knows? maybe someday we could meet.
    Send you big hug with lots of love

    Laura =)
