Char's Garden: A quick walk by.

Char's garden is  one that I pass by several times a week but seldom have time to stop.  Last September, I walked by with my camera and was glad that I did.  You can read that post here.  Following are a few shots taken  from the sidewalk  during a recent walk in the hood. This garden is full of color throughout the season!



I don't often think of combining pink and red for some reason.  It is sure gorgeous here and the lavender hosta blooms keeps the color family well rounded while the yellow livens things up.

Peonies have just finished and we see a dahlia growing to cover its wood supports.  These were beautiful in bloom last year! 




I wonder how deep the buried pot is.  do you suppose it's got a liner in it to retain water for the Iris  ensata?  The look of the ornamental rim just above soil level is attractive.


Looking down the walk, you can see tetrapanax in the garden of a neighbor.   Better check that out!
