In Maine, winter hasn’t really ended until the skiers fade, and the daffodils explode. Looks like we’re just about there.
A tiny whale of a garden.
Tuesday, August 25th, 2009Just across the Rockport harbor from this, if you’re lucky, you just might stumble upon this wee bit of a garden.
Summer, 2009.
Spring, 2009.
A big thank you to the unknown, but talented, gardener.
More than flowers on the Camden Garden Tour.

Within the gorgeous gardens on Maine’s garden tours, the architecture, art, history, and people, can amaze as well.
Here are just a few glimpses of the Camden Garden Tour on a very overcast, and sometimes drippy, last Thursday. (Getting used to a new camera.)
Fantastic fish swim on the boathouse of the Patti & Bruce Westphal’s Garden on Rockport Harbor. The home was filled with a very amusing folk art collection that expanded into the garden.
Andre the Seal loved visiting this lobsterman’s house. Fish (the edible variety) were of interest to him as well.
Nancy & Ben Allen’s lovely renovated Victorian home and overflowing perennial garden in Lincolnville.
The fences at the Berwick Hill in Rockport are as classic as the gardens.
The pool at Berwick Hill surrounded by luscious flora at the home of Dyke Messler & Rickey Celentano.
Apologies for spelling, grammar and context errors recently. Rushing too much is the excuse.
The unfurling continues.

The myth about the symbiotic relationship between the peony and the ant is not true. The peony does not depend on the ant to bloom. The ant is merely feasting on the sweet nectar served up by the gracious peony. Go to Leslie Land’s blog to learn more about peonies.
If you look closely, you’ll see the ants on other flowers as well.
