Thursday Thirteen - 177 - 13 Views From Our Garden This Year

My mom and I share our home and our garden. The house is a two-family set-up: mom on the main floor, and my husband and I in the basement level. But the garden is a communal effort, as my garden-loving sister and brother-in-law have also contributed to its formation.

Here are thirteen views I captured in the garden in 2010.














1 - Tulips














2 - Lily-of-the-valley














3 - Forget-me-not














4 - Rhododendron


















5 - Yarrow














6 - Honeysuckle














7 - Cranesbill Bevans














8 - Lavender














9 - American Pillar rambler rose














10 - Our self-titled Aunt Sheila rose (real name = Sub-zero Brownell series)

This was planted as a memorial to my aunt and godmother, Sheila, who passed away 7 years ago. She was a lifelong fan of yellow roses, so there was no question as to what we would choose for the garden to represent her.














11 - Frosty Fire Dianthus














12 - Clematis














13 - Lily
