A memory garden

My mom passed away July 6, so I have been too busy to tend to my blog. I added plants to a garden bed to make a memory garden for mom. I created this garden last summer with input from mom (previously a master gardener and plant lover), so it already has many of her favorite flowers, such as alstroemeria. She loved the windmill palm, which she could see out her window. I added more perennials, including more alstroemeria and a plant called "Angel's fishing rod" (Dierama pulcherrimum). I have ordered a memorial garden stake and rock. Here are two photos of "Barbara's Memory Garden":

    What a lovely tribute. I expect it makes you feel closer to her, among the flowers she loved.
