Morning Eye Candy: Victoria
Posted in Around the Garden, Photography on August 11 2012, by Matt Newman
The tropical water lily pool is filling in nicely with what look like enormous green bottle caps, capsized and floating about. The Victoria lily pads are nothing if they’re not attention getters.

Late summer plantings in Monet’s Garden set the precedent for our fall displays–rich, colorful, elegant. We’re as anxious to see the autumn arrangements as our visitors are.

Monet’s Garden keeps changing with the season! As summer wears on, the vert Monet architecture mingles with new and complementing florescence.

Planters like those arranged alongside our hardy water lily pool were often used by Claude Monet to test color schemes before moving his plants into his garden proper. Ours are…thriving, to say the least.

What’s the collective noun for a group of artichokes? A “gang” of artichokes, or a “barony?” Maybe a “band” of them.

The smallest prince presides over his domain. But aren’t all frogs a little snooty with their noses in the air like that?

Are bees ever overwhelmed by the size of the meal in front of them? A sunflower must be something like dancing on top of the banquet table for this little guy.

Morning Eye Candy: Chill Spectrum

I once had a middle school substitute teacher who told me I should stare at greens and blues if I wanted to “feel cooler.” I still think she was a tad kooky, but in the dead of summer, the Forest always strums the right chord for me.
