I was sitting on the patio with my Sister the other day. When she said to me, " you have so much to look at out here". I have never thought of it that way. It is interesting to look at one's garden through the eyes of others.
After hearing her remark I thought that maybe I have something to contribute to Pam's Foliage Follow Up. This is the view from the chairs where my Sister and I were sitting. I am so glad you are able to sit here with me. I hope you enjoy the view.
A lovely view it is. We do get used to seeing our gardens and nothing looks unique or interesting --- until someone new points out how nice it all is. Your sister was right!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful area Lisa!!! I love my leaves!!!
ReplyDeleteI especially enjoy interesting leaf combinations. The Hosta and fern grouping has nice contrast in texture and leaf colours.
ReplyDeleteYes, you do have a lovely view to look out on! All so healthy looking.
ReplyDeleteLovely combination, I really like fern planted with hosta. It usually surprises me to hear others comment on the garden and point out something that is beautiful to them. I seem so focused sometimes on the things that aren't done that I overlook the beauty.
ReplyDeleteIndeed you do have, Lisa! And thank you for inviting me in to view as well. So refreshing!
ReplyDeleteHugs for your visit(s) to my blog!!!
Thats why I love to have company come to see my gardens. They make me appreciate it more by seeing what they see. Altho right now I am pretty much aware of the beauty going on in it. My Roses are in their first full spring bloom and its breath taking. Your garden is lovely too.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree...love your foliage follow-up, Lisa! By the way, which hosta is that? I love the cool blue-green color.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful and plenty to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is a feast for the senses Lisa, so much green and the array of colors is breathtaking! Glad I stopped in via Teri's place.
ReplyDeleteA very lovely mix of textures.
ReplyDeletei agree, we can see new things when we look through others eyes. I love doing that with my photography, poetry and art.
ReplyDeletelovely garden.
Those are lush and beautiful plants. I love hosta.
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed. You do! That's a lovely combination, Lisa. Thanks for joining in this time.
ReplyDeleteYour sister is right--you DO have so much to look at, Lisa! The vignette of hostas and ferns is just one beautiful example.
ReplyDeleteI love that combination. Very nice Lisa!
ReplyDeleteYour garden..and the things you have planted to look at, is a reflection of your soul, Lisa...
ReplyDeletebeautiful! peaceful!
and I have so enjoyed the view !
Thank you!
That was a very nice compliment. Your garden is beautiful. I enjoy it too.
ReplyDeleteIt is a good thing to sometimes see a garden (or anything else!) through the eyes of someone else. It can give new inspiration and often more thankfulness for that we have. Your sister is right. The look you had when sitting there is indeed very lovely.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your garden! Barbara
Hi Lisa, I love your blog. How can I contact you?
ReplyDeletemy email is cfrancisca@hearst.com.
Lovely leaves, Lisa! The majority of my plantings are relatively new... some sleeping, some creeping, none yet leaping. Can't wait to see my goodies fill out lush like yours.
ReplyDeleteA lovely view with such lushness. I, too, often am surprised at how my garden appears to others. It is nice to see it through their eyes.
ReplyDeleteI enlarged the photo for a better peek. And yes, I can see a lot going on with this view. I would happily sit and chat with such a view! Happy Summer...
ReplyDeletePerspective makes all the difference! She's right, there's so much to see in just that one shot.
ReplyDeleteYour sister is right! I think I have that Hosta but it's losing its blue from too much sun. Yours looks much better
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy that view. Thank you! It is so much fun to see our gardens through another's eyes.~~Dee
ReplyDeleteThose tiger lilies are wild and have sprung up all over my back yard (which has been left wild.
