Lets See Some Garden Photos!

16 years ago

Ive seen so many beautiful shots of roses and flowers but I wanna see some whole garden photos! Mine are so pathetic right now but am working on getting them back up to par.

If you have any garden photos for inspiration, please let us see them! I need all the inspiration I can get right now.

Hi there.....

I have a problem with getting much of my garden into a photo because it is so huge and full of roses that I tend to take shots that will fit into a photo. Thats why I tend to concentrate on single bushes rather than the entire garden. (I wish I had a camera that took panoramic views.) I can offer only partial shots but maybe they will give you something in the way of inspiration.

Good luck on your garden and never, ever give up!

I make my own garden markers to identify each rose...(not for me, for visitors....I know ALL my roses!)

I made my own stepping stones out of cement, polished stones and colored glass pieces.....

I have numerous arches which feature roses as well as clematis....

Too gorgeous Celeste, I found it almost difficult to look, but then I couldn't stop. I am tearing myself away. Your garden is out of this world. What a credit to you. Wonderful structures, wonderful statues - gorgeous healthy roses. Congratulations - I am sure you are very proud.
Best Wishes.

Lynn - the dogs love him (Shelties seem totally intrigued by cats), GrayC ignores him, and Jack can't stop watching him. No mad playing yet but I expect it to happen quickly. He and Jack will be buddies, I'm sure. The new guy is settled in enough so that he's running, dashing, skittering and all the other adorable stuff that kittens do. He's been dragging even the dog's big stuffed toys around, growing to himself over the stuggle. I think that once he is allowed out in the screen room, the lizard population will plummet. I predict him to be a little killer so I'll have to keep him in and away from the birds! We found him at www.1-800-save-a-pet.com - a rescue organization that operates all over the US. You put in your zip code to find animals listed near you, then contact the individual rescue place. It's worth some computer time just to check them out. I had a Siamese as a child so I was sort of looking for one. When I saw this Siamese mix with the Big Foot I couldn't resist. I drove up to Jacksonville to get him! If anyone is interested, he has an identical brother and a crazy little sister who is tabby striped in gray and peach. I've never seen a cat with her coloring before and she's just beautiful. Both of the siblings have the toes too. Many of the cats in Key West are polydactyl and are referred to as Hemingway cats . (If he were female, Polly Dactyl would be a great name. Maybe Paulie Dactyl???) They are common enough so that you can even do a search on that save-a-pet site for Hemingway/Polydactyl cats. There was a fluffy black poly cutie listed in Orlando but the foster people never responded to my email about that one.

Aunt Jen my long lost retro soul sister :) That big chill fridge in your delicious picture is the second half of the first kitchen picture I posted with the lime laminate counters and vintage stove. I love that whole kitchen, it makes me smile :) Powermuffin .. yay, another cool chair aficionado! :) I'm going through a cute chair phase in life it seems, every vintage chair I find IRL .. I day dream new cute fabric on it. :D Still looking for the perfect pair of chairs to bring home to send to the reupholsters.

These aren't as creative as yours YaYa, but it's all I got right now. *S* Picture on the left shows my telephone table which was a dark green when I got it, I painted it with lots of white paint, added the wood piece on the front and recovered the seat with fabric from an old dress. The lamp is a rummage sale find for $2.00, the chenille spread I found at a flea market for $5.00. Second picture shows my wicker chair ($5.00 at a yard sale) with pillows made from an old chenille spread and another which is a stained standard pillowcase put on a wide short pillow, then just wrapped around so that the pretty part shows. The shutters are just hinged together and set in the window. The table is the one I made from and old milk crate with legs topped with a piece of glass.

I don't have a lot of succulents and some of them are in my winter holding area. But these are a couple. Group of three. Two echeverias and some sort of tiny sedum. This planter was very happy outdoors all summer. Now it's under a grow light on my plant shelf. And I've had this trailing aloe in this mid-century modern planter for years. I've cut it back and propagated it more times than I can remember. It's almost bonsai-esque now. There isn't much else in the planter with it but I see some space that may be available to plant something new!

Your gardens and flower beds get more beautiful every year. I looked through all the pics last year and when I wish I have this much beauty, then I think of all the care involved and I'd rather admire from afar:) All the colors and your statues, everything is simply wonderful, it all says your love of roses and nature.

THANKS everybody for your kind comments about my garden.

I really don't want to "hog" this post, but since no one else is posting pics and more pictures were requested, here's a few more.....

Keeping everything up w/ a full-time job, kids, DH, pets, Japanese beetles and cold winters requiring winter protection, I am grateful for your positive feedback! I am sure people think I'm crazy for all the work I put into it!

Nice garden you've got there. And I love that purple/red clematis.

I've always thought I need to add a bit of perennials/annuals to my garden, but having looked at your photos, a garden delicated to roses only look much better and GRAND.

That last purple clematis, oh my! I love your whole garden but that rich purple came out just amazing in the photo!

Some beautiful clems there! Can you tell me the name of the one in the last pic? And what is that red single (?) w/ yellow centers in one of the earlier pics? Always wonderful when someone's imagination comes to fruition like yours has. I hope you get lots of enjoyment out of it. Brandy

Celeste, your garden is glorious, with such beautiful and well-cared for roses. I really respect the love and hard work that you have given your garden.

By the way, in the fifth picture, with the rose arch, there is a purple rose on the left side that really caught my interest. Can you please tell me the name?

Warm regards,

Ingrid

I was looking through past posts, and I happened to come across this post by roses4ever which made my jaw dropped - also another inspiring garden too.

Here is a link that might be useful: New pics by roses4ever

Celeste ~ What lovely serene gardens you have created. Just beautiful! I would love to take a tour. Do you have more pictures you could share here? You have inspired me to get out and work in my gardens more, especially now that cooler weather is headed our way.
