Anybody want to go on a virtual tour with me?

14 years ago

Our local club Montgomery Area Daylily Society, hosted the regional meeting this past weekend for Region 14. We toured 4 local gardens and they were all fabulous. I posted some photos of one of the gardens, Barbara Burkhart's, in the thread about Linda Agin, but I've uploaded the others to my Webshots album. Here's the link if anyone would live to view them.

Have fun,

Jan

Virtual Garden Tour - photo heavy

Thanks so much everyone! Yesterday was a huge success. Lots of people here and many knowledgable gardeners. They especially loved the the climbing hydrangea. You can tell the real gardeners because they admired a green vine that isn't in bloom! Also can tell the real gardeners by the ones who commented and admired the foliage in the shade gardens more than the lilies blooming right now, LOL Woody, I laughed yesterday because that was one of the most frequently asked questions, How long does it take you to water all this and do you have an irrigation system. Some folks just shook their heads when I said it was all done by hand. So to answer your question, one to two hours a day are spent watering pots. And I actually enjoy being outside early in the day doing it. Silly me. I get to view and check on every plant in my gardens every morning. Deanne

I would hawk the family silver to see Gregg's garden but I don't have to because it is free and the roses are extraordinary. I came away covetiing Boursaults and Spinossisimas this last time but it changes from year to year. There is no other garden like it in the country for sheer variety of antique and rare roses. None. It has as many as Rosarie de l'Haye in Paris where it's catalog is kept as a valued reference work. Try to see it if you possibly can. The hotel which I like in this area about an hour away is Hotel Mac in Pt. Richmond, old fashioned with fireplaces in the rooms running $95-$160 in s delightful old town. It is also a mile and half from my own open garden at 9am on the 10th. Just thought I'd throw that in if you are in the area. la

Virtual tour of designer Bunny Williams' home

I have worked at that plant sale for the last two years with my brother. I saw that camera crew and the dude with the hair. And Martha, in fact. I met Bunny last year and shook her hand, told her I was a fan. This year, I actually chatted with Martha for a few minutes about the vines she was growing on her house in Bedford, rang up her sale, took her check, etc. To have that unmistakable voice, that I know so well, going directly into my ear from about two feet away was a trip. She was just like she seems on TV. I chatted with Bunny several times over the course of the weekend and I have to say she is a delightful person -- completely real and genuinely warm. The day after the sale, my brother and I took the garden tour and spent a couple hours wandering Bunny's gardens, porches, greenhouses and pool house. We ran into her again on the terrace and had a nice, short chat. John Roselli was inside cooking, just as he appears in the book An Affair With A House. I had thought it would be nice to have a picture with her, but would never ask. My brother said he'd try to snap a stealth shot of me talking to her, if the chance arose. But, we were brief, so my brother took a picture of me posing with Bunny's dog on the front lawn. :-) I have emailed him, asking for the pic. I'll post it when it comes.

I am with Graywings as well. I was totally overwhelmed by the sheer volume of pictures - I pretty much lost track of what exactly I was viewing. The quality of the pictures is great, there's just too many of them. Eliminate any labeled "storage" or "closet" or "view from..." or "ceiling". I would also get rid of Kitchen Stove (the picture, not the actual appliance) Kitchen Breakfast and/or Breakfast Kitchen Kitchen view 2 Kitchen view 3 or 4 Garage Laundry room Master bedroom view 2 Master bedroom view 3 Master ceiling (like I said, get rid of all ceiling shots) Master sitting well, you get the idea - there are a lot of shots that can be eliminated. It's hard because they are good pictures. You really do have a beautiful house.

Thanks, Jan...that was fun! What beautiful gardens on what looked to be a beautiful day as well. I love all the pine straw...it's hard to come by here (I actually bought some a couple years ago to put around some azaleas...).

Perfect gardens!

Ha...Rick....thunderstorms going on here, no sitting outside :(

What a peaceful way to start the morning while drinking my morning coffee. Looks like you had glorious weather and all you pictures were so pretty. Everyone's gardens were so lush and green. I would love for mine to fill in like that in the next few years.

I only have one of the dl's from the slideshow and that is JAMAICAN MUSIC, but my favorite from the slideshow would be JANE TRIMMER. I'm going to have to put that one on the list.

Thank you, Jan, for taking me to paradise for a little while!

Hey GG!
They went by here about 5:15 this am....but for a change I was Lucky! They stayed 1 mile North of me and hammered that area....over 2 inches of rain in less then 30 minutes. Then they proceeded East....they actually split going south east and east from here. About time we caught a break!...LOL Course they say it will hit again this afternoon here.......I hope to get Lucky one more time......yeah right...LOL will probably get the big hammer then....oh well....such is Life......
Hope they pass by you fast and cause no problems....Good Luck!

Great tour, Jan.

So, do you own JOAN DERIFIELD yet? You obviously need to! Red, watermark, and you took two photographs, so you need to have that one! It's a great daylily.

Thanks for sharing the tour. I really liked the full scenic pics of the yards and gardens. I have never been to AL, so I, in particular, enjoyed the details of what all grows there. Beautiful country.
