Summer Gardens

There is something amazing about summer gardens. The effort of plants to blossom and flower is magnified as the weather warms. Descriptive words like lush, blowsy, rich, saturated and intense give way to chaotic, over the top, mish-mash, and jungle. The weather this year has kept the descriptive words coming. Little rain with great sun has produced many flowers showing off plant combinations at their best. I want to share with you a few of the gardens I’ve had the pleasure of visiting this summer. There are several that make you stop, take a breath, and just enjoy the view.
