The wooded garden

I've been house-sitting this week so I don't have any projects to share (not that I couldn't make stuff, after all I'm staying at this house) but you know me and my camera can't resist taking flower photos. They live on a heavily wooded hillside with lots and lots of ferns, ivy and moss.


But they've made a beautiful series of flower beds.

Plenty of hanging baskets and pergolas with climbing vines.

They have a gorgeous group of phlox that the butterflies are in love with. I think that spider is slightly offended by the intrusion.

Some purple coneflower.

Clematis isn't finished blooming here but it is at my house!

She has a peppermint striped rose - this is the one I made my rose petal jelly from last year when I house-sat for them.

It actually sprinkled one morning. So then I had to take waterdrop photos.

I can't think of what these are called but they have quite a few and they are just lovely.

I like the bark on this tree.

I caught up with another butterfly but look at all the damage to its wings! I kept imagining it saying, "you should see the other guy."

Not sure what this is called either but the butterflies like it too.

A beautiful climbing rose is about to take over the bird houses.

Again, not sure what this one is. Looks like it used to be much more full but right now they look like giant bachelor buttons.

So if you follow me on my facebook fanpage you now know why I can't stop making flower earrings for my shop!

And speaking of earrings I have a wonderful fellow etsian to introduce you to and you have a chance to win some of her beautiful goodies! Come back next week to check it out!
