Your garden is beautiful! I love how closely planted everything is. Are the solar lights in the first 2 pictures the northern light ones from gardeners supply co.?

Kara

Ginny...your garden is lovely, the brug is amazing, does it have a fragrance?
Sylvia

Ginny - I've only been to your garden once, but it remains my ideal for two things: your patio and the side yard that leads to it. Absolute perfection. These pictures just give a glimpse of how beautiful it is.
Kate

Ginny, your pictures look wonderful. Thanks for posting them, it is the next best thing to seeing it in person.

Evelyn

Ginny, I always love seeing pics of your beautiful garden. I really love how you combine foliage combinations with shade loving flowering plants. All the same things I like. I frequently try to get ideas from how you've arranged things. Have you tried planting the scaveola in the ground as a ground cover? How much sun does it require to bloom well?

Anna

Ginny, you know how much I love your garden, I tell you all the time. ;o) It seems so much cooler there with all your shade.

wow thats something you see on a postcard

Gin, you and hubby must enjoy looking at at that lovely postcard every day! Thanks for sharing!

Oh, Ginny! It looks so lush and tropical! Just beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing these photos. You have inspired me to try to brave the heat tomorrow and do some weeding and clean up of my main beds. The rains that we have FINALLY been getting have really made the weeds grow, as well as the plants. Must tidy up.

I am working on a white garden, too. Just one bed out front. Of course, I only have two white plants in it so far, but I'm still trying! I think yours looks splendid, even with the addition of some color. White gardens are so nice for evening viewing.

Marcia

Beautiful Ginny! I love your combinations of plants and colors! Everything looks so full and lush. You should be very proud of your creation!

nova

So pretty, refreshing and cool looking.
Barb

Beautiful pictures. The first picture has such a soft light feminine feel to it. I almost expect an angel or at least a garden fairy to poke her head around the corner.

Ginny, wow, you have worked your magic again. It's fantastic. Please say hi to your hubby from us.

Ginny,It all looks so lush and beautiful.An inspiration.
Felix

Thank you all for you kind words. There are other parts of my garden that are a nightmare though, so I won't be showing those. lol.

Karalynn - those solar lights I got from Sam's, but I think they look the same.
Sylvia - like most brugs, the fragrance is only noticeable at dusk/night. Want a cutting?
Kate - Thanks. I remember your garden too with the hummingbird flitting around. That's what I wanted and got to some extent.
Evelyn - I hoped the blue MG from you would be blooming, but it hasn't yet. It's covering the arbor though and I can't wait for the show. Sending you an email.
Anna - well, you are my inspiration! I love your pictures, especially the begonias. You can't see it, but I've edged part of the bed by the patio with begonias and I'm planning to order that red caribbean corsair to add to the border.
Kathy - You've definitely seen the best and the worst. lol
rascy and Cindee - Thanks. The bird baths and feeders are not in the picture, but the critters sure put on a show for us.
Marcia - yes, the white garden is great for night viewing and that's why I put it in so I would have something to look at when I took our dog out at dark. Since he was put to sleep, I do most of my viewing in the daytime now. I'll be glad to share any of my white plants you are interested in.
Nova - Thank you! I loved your garden pics too and you inspired me to add mine. I especially love the little red hummingbird plant. Is that an anisacanthus?
Barb - Thanks
atreelady - I guess this is the calmest part of my garden. Most of it is bold, clashing colors.
Lynn - Thanks. Will do.
Felix - Thanks, but I've seen your garden pics. Wow!!

Ginny

Hi Ginny,

Two words come to mind immediately; stunning and enchanting....One day I hope my yard looks as beautiful as yours!

Tom

Ginny ~ I would take your jungle looking garden anyday. I love it all. Wonderful textures, colors, shapes. Can't stop looking. I'd like to know what the pink flowering shrub is in picture #16, and what is the plant in #33 with the beautiful leaves. If I was at your place I'd be asking a lot more questions, and jotting things down for sure. Your pictures have inspired me to keep on working in our gardens. I've heard about your lovely place from Kathy. Both of your gardens are inspiring. Thanks for sharing and keep posting more pictures. Oh yea, I love that angel's trumpet also.

FlowerLady

Tom - Thank you and I've seen pictures of your meticulous veggie beds and wished mine looked like yours.
FlowerLady - you sure picked the easy named ones. lol.
Pic 16 - Megaskepasma erythrochlamys - Brazilial red cloadk. The actual plant is about 7' tall. I just took a picture of the blooms.
Pic 33 - Cornukaempferia aurantifolia 'jungle gold' - a peacock ginger that is just waking up. Has gold blooms.

Ginny

oh my, Ginny....it's breath-taking! How in the world have you managed all of that!???? When I get back from Chicago we'll have to get together! oh..and I luuuuve that angel trumpet...wowzers!

Ginny, your garden is just beautiful...thank you for sharing your pictures!! Your hard work has really paid off. I have to say also your angel's trumpets are absolutely gorgeous...
