And a geum crossed with a saxifrage -- who knew?

Despite the harsh sun, your pictures are lovely. I was at Chanticleer in Pennsylvania at the end of July and had to photograph under similar conditions, but it didn't stop me.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281256160705697856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7458284882406866310.post-90637589038538198552011-08-16T14:08:55.475-07:002011-08-16T14:08:55.475-07:00Alison - I've enjoyed seeing things I complete...Alison - I've enjoyed seeing things I completely missed on other's blogs too. Just goes to show how different peoples' perceptions are - which is nice!<br />Caroline - if you went behind their garden shed at the back of the property there was a path that would take you up the slope that looked down on the house. I was glad to have a vantage point showing the interesting way the arbor was built. <br />Loree - They are both Saxifrages! Interesting! I'd love to get a snippet of your plant. It was all I could do to keep my hands off the plants on the tour! :)Floradorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15697781017732104659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7458284882406866310.post-19214085018920753062011-08-16T07:55:17.928-07:002011-08-16T07:55:17.928-07:00Great photos Kelly, having just gone through my ph...Great photos Kelly, having just gone through my photos of these two gardens I am shamed when I see how much better yours are! The plants you ask about are indeed Saxifraga the first one is S. x urbium 'Aureopunctata,' or London Pride and the second is Saxifraga x Geum 'Dentata'...if you make it to Portland for a visit I'll be happy to share some. Better yet I'll try to arrange a visit to Xera (wholesale nursery where mine came from) so you can see all their fabulous plants!Loree / danger gardenhttp://www.dangergarden.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7458284882406866310.post-1798561857001208862011-08-16T05:35:38.166-07:002011-08-16T05:35:38.166-07:00I love the angles from which you shot these planti...I love the angles from which you shot these plantings and the hardscape. I'm curious as to how you managed the first shot -- did you climb up a hilltop, or did you have a tripod 50 feet high?

I know I've seen the one with the heavily serrated leaves too, but i can't remember it right now.<br /><br />Excellent post, you got some wonderful pictures. I think that is the first photo I've seen of the ruin that showed it in its entirety. There is always something in the Fling posts that I didn't see or notice. I loved the Ocean Spray too, it's one of my favorite natives.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.com
