Carmen's Garden.

March, 2016
While waiting for the snow to melt,
 I am looking back on photos 
of flowers from last year.
I am sharing a few of my 
friend Carmen's flowers.
Carmen has an English Garden.
 She is in her late 90's.  
Carmen really doesn't look or act her age.

Carmen is an inspiration;
an amazing and talented lady.
we share the same passion for gardening.
Many of my flowers came from her garden.



These are Iceland Poppies.
They are annual flowers
 that reseed themselves.



The path to her backyard garden,
on the left side of the path,
 is her succulents plant 
garden, amongst rocks,  
she collected from the beach. 
Weather permitting, 
she takes a walk on the 
nearby beach each morning.








 The poppy pods contain seeds
 that fall to the ground 
and some of them grow
 the following year.



They are a double flower ~ so pretty. 



Below - around her composter, grows chamomile.
Chamomile  can be used as a herbal tea 
to serve various medicinal purposes.







A place to relax.
and enjoy nature.
A haven for birds and bees.








Below is the path to her greenhouse. 
On both sides is her herb/vegetable garden. 
that She takes care of herself.

Daisies


Rudbeckia

 pretty pink flowers.





I took these pics in the bright noon sun.
(not a good time to take photos.)

I hope you've enjoyed Carmen's Garden.

Thanks for your visit.
