A Norwegian garden
« on: January 17, 2010, 03:33:34 PM »
I discovered to my great astonishment that I had forgotten to post the pictures from 2009 in my album. Here they are.

Anne Karin, your garden is like a painting with the bank looking so beautiful now it is maturing.  Your plant associations blend magnificently in colour and form and the views make the perfect backdrop - a great album, thank you

Anne, your garden is amazing and so are your views. :)
You must be very nimble on those slopes.

It is an old fruit sprayer that my grandfather used on his fruit trees.
(I'm not sure if I have the right word for it.)

It is not a garden to grow old in. I have to think of something smart before that. In any case where it's steepest.

One of my favourite colour combinations is in image 8442 - the iris is a fabulous velvet red wine colour, it seems, and shows the pretty pink and yellow Aquilegea off so well with a touch of russet behind - not sure what plant that is Anne Karin?
