  1. Wasn't that Lobelia tupa wonderful? Such a great color. All the others I've seen have been a sort of burgundy, but that one had some orange shades in it, which I loved.

    Thanks for posting your photos, always a treat.

    1. Alison, thanks! We asked about it, and we've been told that this variety is not sold. The one that usually can be found for sale is tupa lobelia with darker flowers, as you described.

  2. Спасибо! Очень красиво! Жаль что фото не передают запаха цветов. Во время просмотра фотографий я ощущала себя внутри Вашего сада. Мне стало легко дышать среди этой красоты!

  3. Thanks for close-up views of some lovely woodland plants! I planted woodland aster this past spring. It was a bargain table buy, and I wasn't sure what to expect of it. It is blooming now, and I am so pleased with it. I also love the shape of its leaves.

  5. Beautiful garden with some really interesting plants. Love the Kirengeshomas, Hydrangeas, especially the one with the spidery flowers around, the lilies, autumn crocusses. Thank you for sharing these pictures of special plants.

  6. Gorgeous! That dark blue hydrangea is stunning. What a fabulous color. But that fascicularia has got to be one of the most unusual plants I've ever seen. Fascinating.
