| Mt. Albert Garden and Horticulture Society had a bus trip on Saturday that my husband and I took. We saw a lovely country garden in Caledon hillls that had twenty-four acres of managed forest that included a garden centre and organic perennial nursery. Lorraine Hunter and her husband Rob were very gracious hosts that led us on a guided tour of the property, identifing all the plants that they grow. Many are started by the owners from seed. We had a delicious catered lunch and after lunch we were let loose to buy plants before our bus took us to destination 2. I had to have the Daylily called Desparado and a Crocosmia called Lucifer. From the top: The flower bed out at the road; crocosmia 'Lucifier' ; Daylily 'Blueberry Delight'; a lovely maiden sculpture; double Shasta Daisy; Asiatic Lily; hardy prickly pear cactus and sedums; Daylily 'Desparado" and the garden sign. We stopped at another Garden Centre called Lost Horizons and of course I bought another couple of plants. We had a great day out. Happy Gardening Week. Valerie Mary is our host at DearLitteRedHouse for Mosiac Monday. Won't you join us there. |

Valerie you will love the Lucifer crocosmia. Mine are about 6 feet tall and the hummingbirds love it.
Looks and sounds like a wonderful garden to visit ... it's a great mosaic. I particularly liked the daylilies ... just gorgeous!

Fabulous, Valerie! I wish I could have gone but we had (actually, still have) company! Well, at least I get to see a bit of what I missed!

Another gorgeous mosaic with daylilies! Happy to hear you enjoyed your day out and were able to capture such pretty photos and bring home a few new plants!
Wow, beautiful plants! I am so intrigued with the crocosmia flower. Very pretty. I am not sure if I had seen them.
I love field trips, specially if I do not have to drive.
