   Gorgeous! That photo with the horse is my absolute favorite. Wish I could visit someday. Thanks for sharing Daryl and Susan.

   Looks like the scale and elegance of this property has definitely earned the right to be called an estate. Things look beautifully done and impeccably cared for. Had to be a real treat to get inside the gates and do a walk about . Love the patina on that planter in the final picture..the thinness of the rim makes me think it is metal. Do you happen to recall if it is, Daryl?

   We're peas in a pod, huh? I looked through the pictures: nice, nice, nice, nice, OH MY! THAT CONTAINER! Wowsy. It does look like there is a seam on it. That patina is amazing. Hopefully you'll have great success with your patina kits this year. Cheers.

   Ha, guess what...after I opened my "surprise" Christmas from me to me of the special patina paint, i can't remember where I put it for safe keeping. I have not done a CSI worthy room by room search yet but it's more off the top of head befuddlement. I know I will track it down eventually. And, yes, that container has super gorgeous patina, doesn't it?!

   Can't find something you put away for safe-keeping? We ARE peas in a pod!

   Even when I have nothing to contribute to the conversation, I love to "listen in" to the banter between you two. Thanks for making me smile!

   Add me to the peas in a pod! That pot is dreamy! And Mike, when you find your patina paint, could you see if my sunglasses are hiding next to it? Thanks!

   ha, oh, goody, sunglasses...I could use a new pair of sunglasses, and I'm sure there will be some orphan socks hanging around there as well...wishing they could find their matching mate.

   Do you know what the purple globe flower is against the fence? Thanks for sharing!

   I'm betting it's allium sphaerocephalon (also known as allium sphaerocephalum).

   Wow! That first formal garden photo is a stunner. I am a purple and green fan at minimum, but I am a pushover for walled and boxed formal gardens. Very Loire Chateau. I also like that horse poking out of the climbing hydrangea and the use of the rendering pot(? soap kettle?)

   Hi Daryl, late to the party. Thanks for sharing. I love that last photo of a container with a matching garden underneath!

   Thank you for sharing! It's such a treat for those of us who are starving for their first flowers of the coming season.

   Thank you Daryl - What is the name of the farm and how can we find out which days it is open to the public?

    Thanks for introducing us to these gardens, Daryl, they are both dramatic and subtle at the same time. Lots to look at... especially the pots!

    Thanks Daryl, for sharing this garden tour. What an amazing place. I wonder how many gardeners it takes to keep it looking this pristine. That copper looking pot in the last photo is beautiful and I like the way they made it look like the flowers escaped by mirroring the plantings on the ground. Also, as someone else mentioned, that horse hiding in the Hydrangea gives the garden a touch of whimsy. This place goes on the list.....

    This looks like an interesting place to indulge the garden obsession. Love the horse! Thanks for sharing, Daryl.
