Yesterday I got a chance to drive over to our new place and get a closer look at the yard (it rained toward the end of the auction, so I didn’t have a chance then).

Does anyone know what the pink flower is in the right, lower corner of the flower collage? It’s kind of a stunted looking tree with these lovely, faintly scented pink fronds all over – I’ve never seen it before, but it’s beautiful!
I couldn’t be more delighted at the yard and gardens – it will be a wonderful place to grow children and flowers. 🙂
Next week – house pictures!
I'm so happy your are getting flowers and a mature orchard. Our new property is sorely lacking in that aspect, but it has lots of potential. I am going to miss my established flower beds, especially the spring bulbs.
I'm sure Harriet would be so pleased to know that her home is going to a family that will make wonderful treasured memories there.And that the fruits of her labor are so appreciated !
I can't get quite a good view, but could it be lavender?
oh my, enjoy your house.. it seems to be the kind of place where someone kept a lovely little home some years back… the kind of place where you could almost recreate the life of the 1930's or 40's. I can just imagine a woman in a housedress and a feedsack apron joyfully tending to those flowers♥
