Elizabeth Lawrence Garden Tour

One more shot of the azalea:

The Azelea was an awesome color! I hope to find some Nelly Mac soon (a native SC orange az.) so I can plant some in the yard....

Elissa - I hope your trip to TX is a safe one...please do let us know you arrived safely and are settled in :o)

Yote- your verbena is digging the planter I put it in (a calico cat planter)

round up soon...whoo hoooo

What a great shot of you guys. Okay I know tggfisk, since we've met before in person. And the others pls?

tggfsk, yotedog, fanceyflea, Lindie Wilson and then myself kneeling with my youngest - Katelyn.,.Fleurs is the one behind the camera LOL

Well, now, Rebecca....I'm sitting here staring at YOUR daylilllies dancing in the rain......so I KNOW I've met YOU!!!!! Not to rub it in---I'm sure I look so beautiful in the pic (after driving 4 hours and hanging out in the rain) that you just didn't recognize me!!! (And in your defense, I'm not sure I'd recognize you, either, plus you gave me something else besides daylillies and I can't remember what, so there, you see how well my memory works....)! I believe my trade to you was 'Hot Lips' salvia.......or maybe not, knowing my brain! Sorry you weren't able to see EL's garden---what a treat it was!

Whooops! Busted Rebecca, LOL! Way too funny:-)

Yotedog- are you wearing the glasses to the right side of bev...? lol oh I am so in trouble..lol. Yes we have met but it's been so long. And yep, I still have your lovely Red Hot Lips plant by my front door. lol heheheh. I am so terrible with memory! :o)))))))))))))))))))))))) *blushes*

rebecca30 lol

Yes, and no offense taken. Like I said, I can't remember all you gave me, and I probably wouldn't recognize you, either. Just couldn't resist a little jab in fun! Sorry you weren't there, but maybe in the future? My 'Hot Lips' is as big as ever--it now covers the space where yours resided. Probably have to divide it this fall again...

Hello everyone. I'm here in Texas and I finally got a chance to show you some of the photos of the EL garden.

From the back looking towards the house

Can't remember what this tree was called but it sure did have some colorful bark.

GARDEN ART

Columbines

This is an old drawing of the garden plans I took insid the house...tee hee....

This is the rose that was brought from Texas many years ago and was growing in the front yard on that tall tree. I had taken a photo of a similar rose bush in Texas near my property a few months previous. I think it could be the same one???

This is the rose near my property in Texas. What do you think??

wow what great pics!!! I am so glad you posted....how r u doing in TX?

Good job, Elyssa!! You were asking about the rose in the front of the house? Maybe if you hum a few bars...lol! Post a closer pic of yours, maybe we can help, although I'm cruddy at rose id.

I'll have to wait until next spring for the rose to bloom. My gut feeling says it's the same rose. The bush in Texas is very old too.

How's Texas treating you, fancyflea? I'll be down your way in a few weeks, so I hope its not too hot, yet! As you know, that's my home state, so I hope you find people and places to love there. Love the pics-- Thanks for posting them. Good luck with the house and getting you and the critters settled!

Hey there yotedog. Texas is treating me just fine. This neighborhood is so full of exotic tropicals. WOW!!! People are great here, just like in North Carolina. I'm so glad I moved to the South away from those cranks of the North East. If you come by my way please come and visit if you have time. Or maybe you need a place to stay? I have a guest room.....

Good to hear all is well, and people are friendly, and thanks for the invite! I'll be a little too far away to come by this time, but hoping to plan a real vacation next year and tour the state. (Why is it we never take vacations in the places we live???). So might be closer then. Good luck with your house and have fun discovering all the new things you can grow now (and with figuring out that, yes, tomatoes go in in early March, and are done by July, when they are just starting everywhere else!).
