Mirror mirror on the wall…

Instead of “mirror, mirror on the wall”, I should say “gardens, gardens on my route,  who’s the fairest of them all?”  I know that “all” does not rhyme with “route”, but let me ensure you get the picture, literally….

 

Here are my favorites, in no particular order…

Ornamental grasses: (sorry, I cannot recall the name of some of them.  I call the bottom, left one “fireworks”)

 

Roses:  shrubs, bushes, climbers, ramblers…

 

Lilies:

 

Shrubs:

 

Spring bloomers:

 

Vines:

 

Perennials (other than roses and lilies that each need a category all to themselves)

 

Annuals:

 

Sometimes plants are more striking because of what they are planted beside or in front of; color contrasts really pop in the garden:

 

I wish I would remember to take more pictures as I visit and work on my GARDENS4U clients’ gardens.  For each picture I took there are thousands of others that would fit right in this post.
