Sunday Selections was originally brought to us by Kim of Frogpondsrock, as an ongoing meme where participants could post previously unused photos languishing in their files.
The meme is now continued by River at Drifting through life. The rules are so simple as to be almost non-existent. Post some photos under the title Sunday Selections and link back to River. Clicking on any of the photos will make them embiggen.
Like River I usually run with a theme. This week I am taking you to Tulip Top Gardens. These stunning gardens are open at the same time as Floriade and win my vote each and every year.
I was blown away this year to learn that ALL of the gardening on this ten hectare site is done by three people, two of whom are in their seventies.
Less talk, more garden. MUCH more garden.
I think their underplanting is superb.
I loved the rogue red tulip in this bed.
Think perfumed air, classic music playing from the trees, blossoming trees, frogs calling from the creek, free tea and coffee and happy smiling faces.
And I DID make it to the top of the look out again. Each year I wonder whether I can, and so far I have triumphed.
There are (of course) many more photos. Which will have to wait for another time.
In other news, a new medical malady (torn vitreous gel in my right eye) and a (welcome) impending guest are slowing me down. From next Wednesday I will almost certainly be neglecting blogs for a week or so. Words for Wednesday and next week's Sunday Selections have been scheduled. Have fun, and I will catch up when I can.
