Laurie, eye-catching banner!
Enjoy color contrast and water drops!
That's a pity about peonies!
In a nearby, (near by me!) neighborhood,
a lovely home had a lovely yard,
kept up by a gardener,
since the widow liked flowers, and colorful glass!
She had beautiful glass orbs hanging in large crepe myrtles.
Also had nice flower bed by driveway.
After her death, new owners removed flower bed and decor.
In the same neighborhood,
that we occasionally walked through during construction,
one area had collection of colorful camellias,
planted by a camellia collector, curator, gardener?
Yes, you guessed it!
Since house built on lot,
camellias and insects attracted to blooms are gone!
It's great gardeners get therapy
by digging in dirt, planting seed(lings)!
and believing in power of miracles!
