A Wonderful Garden

by patricia emerson mitchellLeave a Comment on A Wonderful Garden

I’ve known about Nola’s Iris Garden for a while now, but today was my first visit. I can guarantee I’ll be back. The number of iris are overwhelming and the beauty is simply amazing. I made so a many images I can’t even guess how long it will take me to get through them all yet I didn’t manage to see and enjoy every variety. I’m going to guess that is nearly impossible! When I could figure out what the name was I would shoot the variety sign, but sometimes I couldn’t tell which iris belonged to which sign. The one below, though, is named correctly … I’m not pretending … promise!

A Nice Meeting

I am home from a quick walk downtown. While there I took a quick look at Bellano, the coffee shop that has replaced Top Nosh. (Sadly they had just closed, so no latté for me.) On the way out I ran into a lovely couple and chatted a bit … crazy me, I neglected to get their names. They did get this website URL, though, so I hope they see this so I can publicly say, “SO sorry!” along with, “Hope to see you again at Bellano’s!” and, “If you drop me a line here I’d love to hear from you.”

One thing they asked was if I had a link to my husband’s site. For some reason that hadn’t occurred to me before. (Again, crazy me!) So if you are interested in seeing Dan’s work, the G Dan Mitchell site is now linked here, and I’ll put him in the side column as well.

Meanwhile … have some green from a few years back.

An Afternoon Flower For You

These tiny little things were found at Filoli last February (and I’m sure are back again now). I don’t believe they are forget-me-nots, but I’m not certain. I was thinking they might be Brunnera maccrophylia, but when I looked that up it appears the leaves would look larger and variegated. Perhaps they are Cynoglossum amabile? Anyone? I guess I’ll have to go back when they open (which is soon) and see if they are labeled. Meanwhile, if anyone knows … you know I’ll happily accept the ID!
