Blake Garden

I was here between finishing school and going to Kauai, but never got around to a blog post. Well, I hate to let perfectly good garden pictures go to waste.















































































It's a shame they're only open weekdays. But we have come here together, many times. Most recently: last September, Summer 2011, Spring 2011.

Blake Garden

At this point, you must know this garden as well as I do. I've put up countless pictures of it over the years. Yet there are some scenes I cannot resist taking a picture of every single time I see them. Here are some from yesterday.

Emma said the Clivia beds in the redwood forest made a big impression on her the first time she visited this garden.

I love how the different hedges catch the light, and add a little bit of color, on to those shining horizontal lines--Pittosporum in back, Photinia in the middle, and I think those are common bedding azaleas in front.
