How Does Your Garden Grow?

From the gardens of Enders Island


Enders is known for the dahlias. These were on the dining room table


A tired Easter lily


Hydrangeas still blooming





Some of the roses were still blooming






The Dahlias


More dahlias



Grapes


A new meditation garden



My favorite garden feature the stone kitty and bird faucet





Another dahlia



Spent dahlias


More


A star-shaped dahlia



Butterflies and goldenrod


Apples, though some of the crop didn't look that good


We were told they had a very expensive, very rare Black Dahlia. We went on a quest to find it, but couldn't All I found was this dahlia labeled Black Beauty though it was more of a deep burgundy than black


Still no Black Dahlia


Black, but not a Dahlia.


A lone geranium in a pot outside of the art studio


Dahlias and a schooner.

    1. There was a wedding taking place. I'm not sure if the schooner was part of those festivities

  5. Enders Island looks gorgeous. The gardens are still beautiful. Must be the effect of warm ocean waters. Are you home now?

    1. I was amazed how many flowers were still in their gardens especially the dahlias. I thought those were August flowers and would have passed by now. I got home mid-afternoon on Friday
