This is a mishmash of photos, some for design and some for texture. For more information about the Annual Flower Trial Garden at Colorado State University, visit the official website. For now, I want to show you shapes:
And intricate designs:
Design with more color:
A shape and color combination that draws the eye:
Arranging the garden in pots for flexibility:
Using interesting textures like this fluffy stuff next to spiky grasses:
Then there’s this aggressive guy from yesterday who insisted on showing you that his fluff was fluffier than the green fluff above:
Isn’t that red amazing?
That’s all. Tomorrow I hope to be back on topic: writing, writers, books, procrastination, and chocolate, not necessarily in that order. Have a great day!
SOOOO beautiful! Thanks.
Lovely posts, Patricia and inspiring photos. Reassuring for me too. I thought my wife was the only person in the world who ‘gardened’ via flower pots. It has been a super spring/summer here in Europe for flowers following a terrible winter. Funny old world!
Nobody does flowers as well as you do, Patricia. Every single photograph is a gem.
Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful… I love flower photography. I’m no good at growing them, but I can take pictures of them! Well done. 🙂
The beautiful Montreal Botanical Gardens are worth a visit, too (assuming it’s still there since it was many years ago that I visited Quebec).
Oh how gorgeous! They are as breathtaking as the Biltmore Gardens in Asheville, N.C.!
I love the photos! They remind me of the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens in Richmond.
