Magnificent collage my friend!!!!Bravissimo!:DDD.Hugsxx Whylma
Gorgeous!!
This is simply beautiful woman love how u display the image.
Some wonderful colours Andrea, an excellent montage.
What a joy! So colourful with the acers, hydrangeas, mahonia and fuchsias still giving there all! The winding bare tree ( 3 down on the left ) is stunning too! I would love one of those and the snake bark thingy on the right, not sure what either of them are?
Thanks for the info on those wonderful plants! The snake bark maple is also a beautiful tree, that's one I must get! Double WOW!
You have to be so proud! - These are always such a treasure to brighten our days!
Lovely series!
Very lovely and colourful garden
Another winner of a monthly garden shot, I do so enjoy these.
Wonderful shot and garden
Beautiful collage. Well done.
This again is a most surprising collage, Andrea. It looks if you have still (some) summer in your garden. The shapes and colors are extraordinary, in all their forms. I think you will really enjoy all this beauty around you. A feast for the eyes, my friend.
Andrea your collage is wonderful. Your garden is beautiful, a real slice of paradise. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Superb captures and collage Andrea. God bless.
There is still plenty of colour, would love the lion!!
Wonderful collage of captures... that is an impressive amount of time to have been living there, and I can see why, it is beautiful... Monet would be impressed in what you have done through the years in the garden. A new photographic experience every day.
Beautiful I can't believe you still have so much colour and flower in that lovely garden, we have a few yellow leaves on two trees the rest are bare.
I so love these monthly updates on your garden, especially now that we're traveling and I'm seeing such "foreign" plants. Our climate is so similar to yours that it's like seeing a bit of home while we're rummaging around through the cacti. :P Beautiful ... and thank you!
VERY BEAUTIFUL
I had no idea you had Japanese trees in the garden. They are quite lovely. And white lions are very rare. Found in the wild only in South Africa, they are considered divine by the local people. So white is good.
A spectacular November garden montage Andrea - lovely greens and autumn colors! A must zoom! Thank you for the ID information!!!
Wow, how lovely this is! By comparison, I was tramping through six inches of snow in the back yard today to put out more suet for the birds.
OHH DEAR! Another month is gone and how did it go so fast? The greatest comfort to the way to fast running time, is that we again can see a gorgeous collage from your paradise, Andrea. Thank you so much for sharing it :-)
Lovely colors and well attended flora dominate another one of your sterling monthly montages, Andrea, further testimony that I'm getting older and older, faster and faster.
Beautiful collage!!!!
There is still a huge assortment of colour and shape here, it's still a fantastic place to lose yourself for a while when the world is too crazy. Wonderful collage!
I would love to have such a nice garden
I so look forward to each posting of "the Monthly Garden". Each year I am stunned at the beauty and color in your garden in November .. and through the winter. Our garden is mostly shades of browns and touches of green, gray, and black. And lots of white, but it's melting, and is mostly gone now.
