GORGEOUS!!!!  Love your hydrangeas, the galardias are a great color too (I beleive they're gal's). And don't so many of us love little scuptur pieces and whimsies around too.  I bet you have hummers that stop by too with your reds and pinks.  And of course I love the hemlock.  Your's is the size my husband planted in our yard about 40-45 years ago.  If you let it GROW, just wait.  Our's is now 40 feet tall!!! I really have no idea if I'm right on this but I will say, it is enormous!!!  Love hemlocks, so airy I think. 

 

Yep, like my yard, your's is such a calming refuge to spend time in, dream in, contimplate in.  Thanks for sharing!

@Lilysmom  Your garden is so glorious.  You have a wonderful eye for composition and placement -- not to mention plant choices and color.

Just fabulous.  

 

I especially like a garden with focal points and sculpture of various kinds.

PinkDogwood, I never noticed the image in the gazing ball but you are right!  I can't believe that it is almost the end of July and our hydrangeas are only just now flowering.  What a long winter.  

 

Our hummers have have been patient waiting for flowers to bloom. 

 

Like you, I am such a fan of Canadian Hemlocks.  I planted two at the same time.  They look good all year.

Thank you for sharing, your gardens are beautiful.  I enjoy the artwork - statues etc. - too.  That kind of thing can be overdone but you have just the right touch.

Lilysmom, your garden is beautiful.  I love all your scultures and your stone planters.  Fabulous.  And yes, I did notice your image in the gazing ball.  You are an artist with your flowers.
