One of the streets I take into town welcomes you with a long area of flowers next to an old fence. Remember to click on a picture if you would like to see a larger view.
One of the buildings downtown loaded with white and lavender Wisteria.
A closer view.
Another building close by is covered with ivy.
I find the side of this house very attractive.
A wall with Aubretia and other plants draping over it.
A closer view.
And how could I come to town without going by my favorite parking strip.
I have to drive by this almost everytime I get anywhere close to it.
Just to see what is or isn't blooming.
To see how it looks on a different day.
To make sure it's still there.
And to wonder what is behind that wall of fence and flowers. Do you think I'll get the nerve to knock on the door and ask if they will give me a tour? It's been 2 years now that I've been driving by this strip, taking pictures and wondering but I still haven't asked for a peek.
Beautiful photos and garden!
ReplyDeleteKisses and nice weekend.
Dear RG, What a delightful town. I am not surprised that you drive by these lovely places as often as you can. The Wisteria clad building is absolutely wonderful and so beautifully trained.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think that you should knock on the door on your very next visit. I am certain that the owner will be thrilled that someone approves of all their efforts and will, I am sure, give you the grand tour!!
You should go ask for a peek right away! Two years is long enough I bet the gardener would love a visit from a fellow garden lover. I am often amazed at people's creativity with gardening! That wisteria-wow!
ReplyDeleteChehalis sure has character.... beautiful and very expressive!!
ReplyDeleteSniff! Sniff!! Oh, my hometown ... it is still as pretty as ever! TY for sharing this with me. It is such a lovely community ... I kept looking for Mother's old home but 'nope', you didn't hit 4th St. yet.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valemtine's ~
Have a beautiful day ~

Hi RG,
ReplyDeleteThis is what I remember the warm weather looks like. Those yellow and white, I think Iris, look beautiful!

Soon, very soon we will be seeing sights like this all around us!!!
ReplyDeleteKnock on the door and don't forget your camera!!
ReplyDeleteI vote, ask for a peek :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the beautiful bloomy post to warm my chilling bones! Even the Snowy Mountain below did not chill me....
What a beautiful street with the trees in bloom. Don't you wish you could sneak a pick into some of those fenced up gardens sometimes? LOL! That wall looks so pretty with the Aubretia growing down over it. Wonderful to see summer in winter. Gotta love these digital cameras. Have a great weekend Linda.
ReplyDeleteIt was so nice to see pictures of flowers on a sunny day. I also think you should knock on the door for a peek!
ReplyDeleteDid I ever tell you that the Sedums you gave the girls did bloom last summer? I'm looking forward to seeing all the plants you gave me bloom again this year. I miss the sun already :)
wisteria, love the fragrance and how they droop so lovely. thanks for the tour. definitely looks springish!
ReplyDeleteLove the wisteria covered building. A taste of summer, thank you. Be brave, knot on the door, gardeners are such friendly folks.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful gardens, what great scenery to drive by. I hope you do get up the nerve to knock on the gardener's door one day and see what's behind the fence. Thank you for showing me color on this very gray Wisconsin day.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you! I needed that! Longing for spring.

What a charming town. Adventurous use of flowering vines too ~ I haven't seen Wisteria grown that way, all the way around a building. The fragrance must be wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see flowers blooming, even if they are in the photos. With the rain here, and I suppose at your place, it's kind of grey.

PS, the secondary headers at the top of your blog, are those Blogger pages? I am such a backwards blogger, I still haven't figured out how to do that.

Maybe one of these times you drive by the owner will actually be out tending to it and you can strike up a conversation. My fingers are crossed. I love people like this who aren't afraid to beautify the planet. Great shots!
