   Hi Adeline, a pretty tantalizing glimpse into your gardens! I like your color scheme. My grandmother always did her living room walls in pale pink since she said it is warm and inviting. Then she had a burgundy velvet couch. I like the way you soften the reds. So your garden is alive but warm and welcoming. I enjoyed Blackout lilies with Echinacea this past summer.

   You have a very joyful sense of color, Adeline and your garden looks so alive with happy energy and positive thoughts. I would feel very uplifted to walk among all those warm and welcoming shades of pink, coral and red.

   If your garden is a de-stressor, by the looks of it you have a lot of stress! :) Working mom is three full-time jobs, so I'm sure it's wonderful to have a place to unwind. Your lovely garden shows no signs of neglect. Looks great.

   Gorgeous! So inviting! And inspiring! Thank you.
   I can relate to gardening as a meditation. A total distraction from the rest of life.
   I only hope you eek out some time to simply enjoy being in it.

    How charming! I want to sit in that chair and look out upon the gardenscape that you've created. And, oh, those astilbe in the third photo.....I love the color of their blossoms...they look as though they're waving at one another. Yes, more photos please

    What a lovely surprise on this wet and dreary day on Vancouver Island. Your colours are wonderful and I would love to sit at your table and enjoy the scenery. Very relaxing,

    Colorful, lush and gorgeous! You sure accomplish a lot in your spare time. I agree, gardening is the best de-stressor.

    Adult coloring books are all the rage these days for de-stressing, Adeline. Coloring pictures of your gardens would definitely be a top seller! They are so happy!!! Add me to the chorus of GPOD'ers that want to see more photos!

   Did you get a lot of snow, Sheila? Of course, what might seem like a lot to me might be no big deal to you.

   For Denver, we did get quite a bit... about 10" of fluffy stuff. It's so delicate and beautiful, especially since the girls (German Shepherds) are away on a quick playdate and can't turn it all into ice with all of their wrestling! It's also giving my gardens needed moisture so I won't have to water for a while!

   Sounds lovely for you and your garden.

    Gorgeous ! Yesterday- I was so stressed- When I got home from work-It was 70 degrees out- so I started pulling those pesky wild onions out by the roots… I was translated to another place… That peaceful place that just calms the soul…I was wondering- Is it normal to derive this much pleasure from pulling weeds ????

   "Pleasure from pulling weeds????" Chuckling here in a wicked cackle kind of way!! We've had a spring-like break for the past few days from January's norm, and we've been enjoying it while it lasts! I, also, have been yanking those pests and obnoxious invaders with great glee! Ok, and with a little animosity and growling, just to get my point across...but so far, no "un-polite" words....so far!!! Grinnin' like the Cheshire Cat when I look over my shoulder and down the row!!! A little dirty and a tad tired when done, but "zenned!!"The pleasure is doubled the next morning when the job is still done and looking oh-so-good...no road rage in my immediate future!!!

    Stunningly beautiful Adeline! I'm so surprised to see Astilbe and Crocosmia blooming at the same time as they are in your last photo. More pictures please! Vikki in VA.

    Adeline, your garden style is beautiful and impressive for a working mom. Please consider sharing more photos when you can find the time in your busy life.
    So glad to hear that GPOD will have a booth at the NW Flower and Garden Show. See you there.

    Thks everyone, Glad you you all enjoyed my flowers as much as I did.. all from last summer. I call myself ..a garden addict.. so whenever I can.. it's out playing in the garden.. I can almost say.. I don't even mind weeding. So looking forward to spring! I spent the cold dry winter days.. cleaning up, prepping. Will definitely post more pics for you all.
