"Wildlife" visiting the stream

My son's dog appreciates our little stream.

Windmill Palm

My palm seems to have survived the snow and ice storms. I swept the snow off the fronds before the freezing rain came, and they bounced right back.

Angel Memory Gardens

I've published my new business web site: www.angelmemorygardens.com

I'd appreciate your referrals for my design services for special garden areas, memory gardens, and garden art.

Camellia Sasanqua

Here is a photo of my Camellia Sasanqua that is blooming on my front porch. I had the pot in an open spot last year, and all the buds froze, turned brown and fell off after the deep freeze in November. So I moved it to my porch for more protection this year.

The primroses are blooming again, with just enough protection to overwinter.

Added stepping stones to finish Japanese-inspired bed

Now I can get into the bed to maintain it without getting as dirty. The compost we spread this fall is really dark and messy. I think I will add a light layer of bark to some areas - like this one.
