| Armisted salvia |
We’ve have some very warm temperatures recently and I see
the signs of spring. My violets are profusely blooming as is my rosemary. The
distinctive aroma of Daphne fills the air when I step out on my porch.
New growth from the mint along the fence is visible. It
won’t be long before I’m loading geraniums and fuchsias into the trunk of my
car. And I’ll be looking for my Armistad and Black & Blue Salvia to sprout.

Why prized? Because while I love this plant I’ve not been
particularly successful in growing them.
Sitting at my computer, looking into my yard with the
hummingbirds flitting around the plants is inspiring. I love the color against
the carport storage area and fence.
In summer our days have gotten so hot, I do not spend
time on my back decks enjoying the yard up close and personal but through my
windows I have a panorama of visual delight.
When you read my books you’ll see I include flowers and
gardens.
In Lily, she looks out over the view from Eleanor’s
windows at the winter garden and the tall Douglas fir beyond. While the garden
itself is a figment of my imagination, from my office windows I see the Douglas
firs a couple blocks away.
Fuchsias are featured in Elizabeth. One of my fondest
memories of driving around Ireland were the plethora of one of my favorite
flowers growing wild along the roads.
I’ve included pictures from my garden.
Enjoy!!!

Like you, I am very lucky to have beautiful views. I have a high corner office with windows facing in two directions. Big Douglas firs edge the yard and a pink camellia bush is getting ready to bloom under one window. The other looks past the firs down the hill to our white-fenced pasture. Truly a joy!
I love your view! Very inspiring and peaceful to look out and see forever - past pasture and beyond. Always love having Douglas firs in view. They are magnificent and the giants are so old! Do you have old growth on your property? or do you know?
