My friend Lori's garden on Long Island is a little on the wild side right now.
Her mower is broken and she's waiting for the poison
ivy removal people to appear. A garden untamed is a delight.
This picture: box wood, daffodil, periwinkle and hosta.
Bleeding hearts, hosta.
Reflecting pool.
Dog tooth violet for me.
Everything all at once.
Marsh marigold, tulip, azaelea.
Lori's garden is glorious! Reminds me of my WM.
ReplyDeleteYes, I saw Night of the Hunter on TCM the other night! It was partially my inspiration for today's post.
I'm taking your lovely Haiku ad home with me.
So pretty! Spring is such a perfect time of year. Love the mosaic in that reflecting pool.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful riches of an unintentionally untended garden!
ReplyDeleteRe my blog:
I need to reflect about what I want to do, at the moment I feel very hurt. You certainly would be invited.
BEautiful E!
ReplyDeletenow we are seeing the trout lilies - you would like those...
and then the trillium - especially on the mountain
spring is ablaze!
much love to you...
xox - eb.
She has such a beautiful place!!
ReplyDeleteYour friend's garden is beautiful-untamed-the best sort! I battled my weeds a few days ago but have given up again for now as they look fine! The birds and the bees like it!
ReplyDeleteHey E-
ReplyDeleteA garden untamed... I loved that sentence. Pure poetry! Looks like you had a lovely day. So nice of you to take us with you.
I am wondering how to put this new function I've been seeing on your and others blogs on mine... where you can suggest that they might also like other posts and it shows a little picture. How do I do that? If it's not too much, can you let me know either on my comments area or by e-mail? Danke!
Love the untamed! Such a lovely, lovely garden Lori has and your photographs do it much justice.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely garden and such glorious spring blooms. It's just the kind of garden I find most appealing - one that looks like it just sprouted up on its own!
ReplyDeleteoh, I agree Elizabeth - the wildness of a garden has its own very magical charm....
ReplyDeleteI love a wild garden too! So lovely.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful garden. I love the boxwood, and all the other colors.
ReplyDeleteThe reflecting pool is really a nice one.
Spring! Lovely spring!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful! I agree that perfectly groomed gardens are a little sad looking. There should be some chaos in a garden.
ReplyDeleteYes, wild gardens are the most beautiful, I think. And walking through your friend's garden must be a treat after a week of walking through the city (although that's one of my favourite things to do, too).
ReplyDeleteThank you Elizabeth. I guess that I will have to store my mower. Plants that I have never seen out back keep popping up. Thanks everyone for the lovely comments. They make me glad that I spend so much time pushing my wheel barrow around the place. I've tried to make it a 12 month garden. Thanks to all, and everyone is welcome anytime. Lori
ReplyDeletedog tooth violets? I don't think I've ever seen them? I must have, but they are cool.
ReplyDeleteoh I do LOVE a wild garden!!! AND cannot get enough violets!
ReplyDeleteLove a wild garden - like untamed hair - can be great.
ReplyDeleteLove Buster's blog.
Our shrubbery is as wild as that atm and I'm dreading the moment when I have to go out there and start removing the weeds - because it *will* happen, oh yes.(eventually)
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I want to go there...as you know, I love gardening :P
ReplyDeleteI think that's what gardens should be like! Although, the perfectly pedicured ones can be charming too...
ReplyDeleteI was just at Kew Gardens yesterday. I love how I can indulge in the wonderfully maintained and the untamed delight.
ReplyDeleteYour friend has a lovely, lovely garden. That reflecting pool is wonderful.
Hi, Elizabeth! Just catching up with your here...wonderful posts in recent days...Lori's garden is dreamy--love the wildness and tangle! And that salad the other day...I'd love a bite of that. Oh, a few more sign-up for the haiku even at my place--it's shaping up good! :o) Happy Day, my friend ((HUGS))
ReplyDeletei love a wild garden more than a tamed one anyway...unruly nature!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos! Thanks for the walk in Lori’s garden. Too bad about the poison ivy in paradise. It was amazing how everything started blooming in NY at once when the sun came out a the end of last week. Your salad below looks tasty.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth what a beautiful garden.
ReplyDeleteI have to say Tessa knows the best people and I am so glad to come and visit you here.
Lovely blog.
