A little change of pace as I've been so wordy lately. Some pretty pictures for you of our local garden, Mc*Laughlin Garden.
That last photo of leaves with copper edges is my favorite tree. It's called a tri-colored beech and through the summer it has pink edges until the pinks turn to copper in autumn.
Christine, follow the photo source and you will find quite a bit of information. It's not supposed to grow in my corner, but Mr. Mc*Laughlin loved it so that he made it happen.
I loved strolling along with you through this garden. Peace & beauty everywhere!
The tricolor beech is gorgeous! Our local nursery has one growing under the canopy of several very old oak trees. I asked about it and was told that they generally don't do well in our area...too bad!
It's nice to see such a beautiful selection of your local garden's flowers. It was quite nippy this morning when I went on my walk and I feel summer is beginning to fade away.
A tri-colored beech! So that's what that tree near the community pool is! Thanks, Vee! (Someone who shall remain nameless was trying to tell me that it was diseased....) Lovely garden shots. We must enjoy as many as possible as the seasons change...
Hi Vee, Beautiful flowers, and I would so love to have a tri color beech tree. I have a question. The delicate white flowers in the left hand corner of your second Mosaic.Do you know the name it looks like one that I have and the fragrance is indescribable. I do enjoy mine so much just haven't taken the time to find the name. lol. Thanks for sharing these beautiful flowers. Hugs, Sue
How I would love to have a flower garden like this! Isn't it wonderful that you have a place close by to visit such beauty?
ReplyDeleteThis post was just what the doctor ordered for today. Soothing and lovely.

Ahhhhh. I needed this today. I am at home sick with the stomach bug. Yuck. I love the pink edged plant. Can't wait to see it turn copper (hint hint)
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful.....Thanks
ReplyDeleteThe beech is a beautiful tree. Would it grow in Oklahoma? How big does it get? Gardening is one of the pleasures I have in this life.

You've been wordy? Mmmm, isn't that what blogging is? Multi-use of words, words, words. With some pics thrown in, for spice.
An all-photo-blog, is...... a Photo Blog.

Yes...it is lovely. I don't think we have many beech trees in our area. Thanks for taking us on a garden tour today.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is lovely as are all the pictures. A beautiful garden to enjoy and take a walk.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely! That reminds me, Hubs and I need to take a stroll through the arboretum to see whats blooming...if only the rain would stop.

ReplyDeleteGarden tours, even the virtual sort, always soothe and inspire. The tri-color beech tree is intriguing.

Oh, Vee, what lush gorgeous gardens ... I could sit for hours amongst them.
