Today’s tour will take place in the Blue Garden surrounding the Koi pond. It was named the Blue Garden originally for my collection of blue pots and glass. More recently it became the favorite area for the wee dogs to visit and is now referred to as the Poo Garden.
There has been an addition of RED, my latest obsession.
Fire House RED.
Yummy Spring Green.
So bodacious, it’s difficult to photograph.
Such a show off.
Ficus green. Yes, bodacious, we DO see you glowing in the background like toxic waste. Tone it down just a touch.
Pygmy date Palms. Rumor around the pond has it that the turtle is a descendent of the Apostle Peter . . . .hence his ability to walk on water.
New leaf on the rubber tree workin’ the fire house red.
Don’t know why, but these little purple flowers always look like they’re smiling to me.
**Happy Smiles**
This site received big OOOOO’s and AHHHH’s from The Brawny Man yesterday. New growth on the bamboo planted in the fall.
Bamboo reaching toward the top of the house.
Swoonalicious.
Because everyone loves a good volunteer.
Mint seeded by Nature.
Now, out the way you came in . . . tour cut short . . . the day is callin’ me.
Gotta go PlAy!

Love all the green and color in your garden. And that turtle is amazing. ;) Wishing you a wonderful day in your secret garden!! Love, Silke
I love to gaze at lush gardens...They are like a retreat in your own backyard!! Yours is very inspiring. I'm going to get to work on my mine just as soon as the weather cooperates~
Hi Deb! I'll be there at 4. But you will need 2 cameras. One for my left cheek, and one for my right. xoxoxo Pam

Oooooh so fertile so green so alive. Love!
Bahahaha! Oh, Rosie the klutzy turtle! Gotta love her. Thank goodness you are there to rescue her. But here, she seems to be workin' some magic of her own.
Beautiful garden. I love all the new spring growth! Keep your eye on that mint. Spreads like crazy, I hear.
Happy Sunday!
Lovely tour...thanks for letting us step around in your space xox
last night I was telling bella that I would feel very rich, a wealthy woman if I had a parcel of land with a giant bamboo grove like the ones I had in my childhood. I have clumping bamboo in my backyard but they are the miniature kind, Your garden is so beautiful Deborah. Great weather too.
what a lush environment! no wonder Rosie looked so content the other day! She must think she's in the rain forest!
oh - LOL - speaking of turtles ... have you seen ...

and where is the turtle while you are taking these pictures?
i'm asking alot of questions lately, huh?

I am all about a splash of red here and there! :) Love your beautiful garden.
Love it, Love it...jealous...yes!! Come on spring!! Your garden is so beautiful.
Listen to an old girl who made the mistake of having ONE PIECE OF MINT in the garden......DIG IT UP!!!!
Then put it in a tin, where it cannot send out roots, or you'll have no more garden.
At least here, it is highly invasive and has killed more of my plants that I wish to recall.
And you have a beautiful garden!!!!
XXOO!!
Crazy-woman.....
