EARLY ONE MORNING

In the still morning air, with not a ripple on the water. The perfect time of day.

Cindy, MCOK said...: Wow. You're inspiring me with your plant combinations. I know you said in a previous post that you yank the evening primroses where they're not wanted. I try but they persist in their attempts to dominate their section of the rose bed here on my corner of Katy.; April 18, 2011 at 6:41 AM
Alan said...: Lovely!

Sometimes I wish I had a walled, herbivore-free garden too. My two remaining poppies will soon produce some flower buds, aka "deer candy".; April 18, 2011 at 7:34 AM
Rock rose said...: Cindy- They do the same here too, but I do like them and quite frankly I doubt I will ever be rid of them.
Alan- I am relieved to say that our deer don't eat the big pink poppies, bluebonnets, blanket flowers, narrow leaf zinnia, dahlberg daisy. And I see wine cups out there this year. That would be a better place for them instead of my garden.; April 18, 2011 at 10:18 AM

Julie said...: You have poppies too! I don't, but just saw another blogger friend who has them in north Florida! I will have to try them next year...such fun! Your gardens and their reflections are devine!; April 18, 2011 at 7:50 PM
David said...: Wow!
This month your garden looks like some I've seen in magazines of Italy, Monaco, & French Proven`ce.
Actually, yours is better than the ones in the gardening magazines.
I like that you show a lot of your garden in your pictures. This really helps me to see the nice plant combinations.
The plants reflected in your pool give you 2 gardens! And to think, you don't have to water the plants in the reflection!Now isn't that nice? LOL

Cottage Dome said...: You have a beautiful red poppy. I used to have some pink ruffled ones, that came back year after year. We moved to another location and the poppy's got left behind.; April 19, 2011 at 5:39 PM
