Just wow, what lovely greens.

Incredible green, lush foliage and great structure!
ReplyDeleteAre those Lily of the Valley in the Woodwardia sp.fern?
ReplyDeleteThese looks so tropical but they are so different from the ones that are found in my region.
Marvelous!
Save the best for last, the tropical garden is stunning! Looks very Cornish :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place to visit and take photos! Your photos are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIt is the Darmera Pelta. Wow what a breathtaking trip this must have been. Fantastic vieuws Tatyana.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
You have definitely convinced me -- this is a place we must visit at some point! Your photographs have captured the very essence of it all. Fabulous job!
ReplyDeleteOh my ~ the columns & water feature are incredible. It looks so lush ~ I knew Washington was green but I didn't know it could look like the tropics! What an amazing garden ~ I can only imagine what the new garden looks like. Can't wait to see. Thanks for this tour Tatyana ~ you really did a nice job sharing Heronswood. I hope the garden gets the kind of wonderful new owner it deserves.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to thank you for posting these pictures. Heronswood is a special place for gardeners, and the fact that its future is up in the air is a little disturbing.
ReplyDeleteHi Tatyana, I am glad I stopped by your blog, again. What a gorgeous post about the tropical part of Heronswood Gardens. Your photos are amazing! I just love the big leaved tropical plants scattered around in the woods. With the sculptures, columns, fountain and urns it becomes a living peace of art. So inspiring! Thanks for sharing photos of this unique garden.
