"Baby Blues"

Heidi writes, "My son, in my garden..."

"Tiger Lilies"

Deann writes, "This Tiger Lily is probably over 75 years old.  It came from my aunt Zara who passed away last year at 107 years old.  This Lily is one of many of the perennials I have transplanted from her garden to mine.  She will always be with us in spirit..."

"Abstract Peonies"

Sarah writes, "I like the abstractness of this photo..."

"Clematis"

Carolyn writes, "This was taken last year in my back yard.  I thought it was so pretty, that I used it on my Mother's birthday card last July.  The Clematis is blooming again, but it just isn't laid out the same as last year."

"Bearded Iris"

June writes, "This is my Iris garden.  My first time growing them and they are just wonderful.  I have a few re-bloomers that will flower later in the season."

"Beautiful Garden"

Bonnie writes, "What I enjoy most about this photo is that it captures the beauty of my fence, arbor, bird bath, accessories and my beautiful plants inside.  I have been told it looks like an English garden!"

"Lantern Garden Path"

Wendy writes, "This is my side garden and I finally got to show my lanterns that I have been collecting and I've gotten the path widened so you can actually turn around while going down it. You also can't see the end, from the beginning."

"Morning Glory"

Adele writes, "Here is a photo I took of my pond as the sun rises up over the mountain. The majesty of nature is awesome. We incorporated three gentle waterfalls and two streams into our pond design. We tried to keep the landscaping as naturalistic as possible by encouraging borders of aster, yellow coneflower, prairie sunflower, blanketflower, yarrow, black-eyed susan to meld into Aspen, tall ornamental grasses and junipers."

"Daylily with Fountain"

Kathy writes, "I just love Daylilies and have many varieties throughout my garden, including this delicate one.  The backdrop to my daylily is a fountain my husband and I recently designed and installed.  I love the way the arch of the water compliments the arch of the daylily foliage."

"Arbor Rose Garden"

Joan writes, "I love this picture because it shows my rose garden through the arbor just as spring is beginning to break.  My Boston Terrier looks like the regal little king he is, surveying his domain."
