in My Livable Garden

A collection of photos from a stroll in my garden.

This Cattleya is on its second bloom now.

I should have dusted it off before the photo. Housekeeping please! A little grit and sand inside the flower.

Liriope muscari ‘Evergreen Giant’ is blooming.

She is always there to greet me near my front door.

This concrete statue of a boy is actually sitting on a dolphin and can be used as a fountain.

I love this large clay urn on its side in my front garden bed.

Hi, Jackie–
This is great! You have some really beautiful “shots” here. Thanks for taking me (and all of your readers) on a scenic tour of your garden. :-)

Beautiful photo of the cattleya. I grow Dendrobiums by the hundreds but somehow Catts intimidate me a little bit ! Yours is beautiful! So is that friendly blue dragonfly :)

Thank you. Yes the dragonflies are friends. They love to eat mosquitoes. There are quite a few of them here. They are very attracted to the waterlily pond, as am I. :)
