In need of gardens

The snow sits about a foot and a half on our lawn, and the snowbanks along the roads are closer to 5 feet tall right now. Midland is a very very very snowey town and I haven't seen grass since December. I am Aching to get back into my rose garden and put some sweet peas up my trellis ...not to mention all of the fun annuals that I can add to the front garden this year AND I get to see all of the perenials that I planted last year really start to grow .
Does anyone have any beautiful gardens or zen like nature scenes to share with me? I don't know if I'm going to last another month!
Awaiting warm breezes,
Jess

I'm sure Abbysmom can share a few of her lovely garden shots with us to brighten up the place!

Hi,
Here is a picture of my foxgloves last spring. I can't wait for the frost to go away so I can go out to play!

Hope you like orchids.

Those Orchids are stunning. You obviously live somewhere warmer than the UK

Beautiful....just beautiful!!!!

Jess, here are some pics from last summer that might perk you up!

looking out my bedroom window. See the rainbow?


a mother robin in her nest right outside my window


a baby deer that was in a bush outside our office


my newly planted azalea bush


my backyard flowerbed




one of my roses

Okay, you must live in somekind of fairy tale because everything looks perfect!!!

Beautiful pics!

Thanks, but you only see a portion..........

heheeh...

GREAT pictures! Most of the flowers all of you posted are ones I wouldn't even attempt to grow

I do not have many in Photobucket right now:

great pics Karen. You look like you have a park there. Is that your back yard?

Yes it is. I doubt it will look like that this year. It was under my care this past year, not the previous owners, who were Botanists.

Well, I'm sure you'll do a great job. Looks like you and Aaron have acres and acres........

No! Just one.

Not sure what rose this is!! Please disregard insect damage and black spot!!


Of of my many,many daylilies!!


This is one of the 1st photos w/my digital camera. Unfortunately this is the perennial bed that had the tree cut down this yesterday so everything to the left of the bird bath has to be moved!!

Hope this helped!!

Ok, here come a few shots that are sitting in my photobucket folders...

The resident peony...



More lemon balm than I know what to do with...



The dogwoods up the street...



A Branch of quince...



Blossoms in the park a block away...



The resident forsythia...



And a couple from my MILs garden...





All from last year, still, but I noticed the daffodils are up in the front, and the forsythia and the quince are almost ready for this year's photo session...Spring is my favourite season. Enjoy.

It is, Sooz. It's Cadboro Bay, at the southern tip of Vancouver Island. It's a lovely property, and she has a grand time with her gardens still (at almost 86). That pic is taken near the top of the driveway. The house is hiding behind the rhodos, and on the other side of the house is a rather steep drop down to the water.

I'm so jealous.......how I would love to live by a body of water.......the best I have now is a muddy puddle in the back from all the snow melting!
