My hubby won a prize

What a beautiful way to start the morning! Looking at such a gorgeous garden. It is so inspirational! I especially love tiered effect of the hanging red dragon wing begonias and the blue lobelia and bacopa underneath..... stunning! The fuschias are just beautiful. I am not able to grow those very well in Nebraska. It is too warm, humid and mostly windy! I also love to see the scaveola... I have been using more of that in my garden. It is so foolproof. But.... I have to say that my absolute favorite is the use of the moss covered rocks for bed edging! I want to have mossy rocks in my garden, but again, it is Nebraska and I don't have much shade! I am trying to start a small moss garden on the north of my garden shed. It has been minimally successful. Tell your husband that it has been a pleasure to have a virtual tour of your garden! Many thanks.

And we sure have plenty of moss here. Too much in fact - with the oak and chestnut forests we have plenty of humidity. We used to power-wash some of the moss off the old bread oven at the front and patio area, but it's as bad again in a couple of months, just a waste of water, so now we live with it.
I love the scaveola too, it usually flowers until end October here and looks wonderful with pink or red geraniums.

That is exactly what I see in my head when I think of France! Sooo beautiful and the patience to tend to all of the pots..amazingly beautiful! The award is quite an honor, but I think living amongst all the beauty is an award in itself!
