Last week, husband Pieter did find a beautiful Thuja occidentalis 'Golden Globe' for planting inside a big planter on the patio. Click on the pink hyperlink for info by the Missouri Botanical Garden.
We love anything variegated as it adds beautiful color to the garden and goes very well with our home's exterior paint color of Golden Mist by Benjamin Moore.
A true GOLDEN on this Thuja occidentalis.
Unfortunately, this Swallowtail Papilio polyxenes we found dead on the driveway...
Don't you LOVE these golden leaves?
Love its name 'Golden Globe'
Our Tiggy-Tiger girl loves to photo bomb...
All those big planters, Pieter found on sale and he has spray painted them in a matching color.
Patio is not yet clean as again we are expecting some tornado like weather.
Good for getting rid of the pollen but dry leaves and catkins all come down on the balcony and patio.
Our eldest, 13-year old Barty boy poses proudly next to the planter with lovely Thuja occidentalis 'Golden Globe'
Thank you for your visit!

Oh, dear Mariette, I can sure understand why it's called golden... what an amazing vibrant colour!!! So lovely, and the colour of the planters brings out the shine too. So peaceful to look at and with your elegant cats posing too - it made me smile. A happy moment you have captured my friend, and bringing it through to us is awesome- thanks for sharing:-) big hugs
ReplyDeleteGostei bastante de ver as fotografias principalmente a primeira com a borboleta.

Hello Mariette, Interesting specimen plants add a lot of interest to a yard or garden, and your Golden Globe is sure to attract a lot of attention.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, since I have come to know you I have taken special notice of all things Dutch, and was interested to discover when reading the letters of poet Edna St. Vincent Millay that she had married the Dutch businessman Eugen Jan Boissevain, who came from a prominent family in Holland.

Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful Thuja! I think, it will look really nice on your patio! With Barty on the side, a wonderful couple ;O)))
The Swallowtail is such a beautiful butterfly, so sad you found him dead on the road ...
Have a lovely weekend ahead,
sending much Love and hugs and blessings,

Beautiful butterfly and I'm sorry I'm dead. I hope it was not a kitten that hurt him. Regards.

ReplyDeletePieter picked the perfect color for the pot! Sorry for the dead butterfly, but I am pleased to see she is with the golden leaves and Barty in the last photo. You both are king people,Mariette.
Happy weekend to you.
Hello, Dear Mariette - your new planter perfectly compliments your lovely home with its golden colors. Love to see all your fur-babies and the pretty butterfly. Unfortunate that it had died, but they don't live very long so we must enjoy them when we can. Sending hugs and hope you avoid any damage from the storm. We are expecting high winds tomorrow, too. xo Karen

Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeleteeine solche Thuja habe ich noch nie gesehen. Mit ihren goldfarbenen Blättern sieht sie aber sehr verlockend aus und ist sicher eine Zierde für jeden Garten.
Ich wünsche Dir einen guten Start in die Woche.
Viele liebe Grüße

It's such a beautiful plant, Mariette! Golden Globe is a great name for those gorgeous leaves. Love the matching color of the planter. And I love seeing your adorable kitties :-) I hope the storm didn't cause any damage in your area.
