Bainbridge Garden Tour

We went to Bainbridge on Saturday afternoon to attend the garden tour on Sunday morning.

While waiting for the ferry, we went to Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe.







OK, on the island now. This is where we got married, in my in-laws' backyard.



This is a nice place to drink wine. Last night we had some 2005 vintage red Bordeaux. Yum.



OK, back to the real topic -- the Bainbridge in Bloom tour.























They're all waiting to hear Ciscoe Morris speak. Since this blog is sort of about not meeting Ciscoe Morris, I get back on the bus.



I chose almond plum and chocolate.















Back at the garden tour headquarters, they're selling this plant that Chuck calls the Harry Potter plant. And they're sporting those purple blossoms he told me about too.



On the way home, we stopped at Rosedale Nursery. I'll have to show you photos sometime.

Ciscoe's Yard Again

Today is Garden Bloom Day, and I'm supposed to show you everything in bloom in my garden. But I have a much better idea -- I'll show you what's in bloom in Ciscoe Morris's garden!







I was impressed with this place before in April and May, but it really shines in June.

































Looks like Cisco hacked back his giant rice paper plant. Maybe the fire department made him do it.

















After we stopped by Ciscoe's place, we went to my friends' house, where a mother robin scolded me for checking out her young ones.



Cute!
