Very nice! Thanks for sharing. Happy T13!
Wow those are beautiful!!! I especially love the bell flowers. I didn't realize that clematis could grow so far north. I guess it must have lumped it together with bougainvillea in my mind. Gorgeous Garden!
Beautiful, Julia! Your garden shows the love you have for gardening. So impressive.
I love them all! If only I could live in a place with a garden, and not in a busy metropolis where you see drab technology at every turn.
Very pretty. I really like the peonies. It's not cold enough to grow them here in Auckland.
can i have ur garden pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee
Dear life, 13 things I want today
Loved the lilies and ponies....I wish I had such a garden...heaven on Earth...a remedy for all despair :)...see the view of it is turining me poetic :)

Beautiful flowers. I think your rose bush is gorgeous. You are quite the gardener, Julia. Have a great day.
A beautiful garden. I envy people that have a talent for not killing plants.
Yes, your garden does show your love for gardening. It's breathtakingly beautiful.
Have a terrific day. :)

I envy people with green thumbs. I can't grow a darn thing, but I love spending time in beautiful gardens like yours. It's good for the soul.
Beautiful! You have such a lovely blog :D You showcase everything I love...nature, art, books, poetry...Love it!
So nice to visit you here :D
Have a Happy Day!
Its looking better than mine. Mine started out great but between the rain pounded the plants to the ground and the STUPID ants eating my marigolds I'm back to square one. ARgh...
I think I've decided that I like big substantial flowers...peonies, rhodies, carnations, roses. These kinds of big blossoms are very appealing.
I like a few delicate flowers, too. But my preference is for the bigger ones.
If you ever come visit me, make sure you come with gardening ideas. I want this sort of gorgeous lushness in my own yard!
