Dude, I love how you go about this, finding these oh-so exotic places and giving them to us with their histories. Once again, utterly fascinating and thank you!

Thanks for your comments. I love your blog. I am so much looking forward to hearing about your visits! This 21 of July the garden conservancy is having their Marin open garden tour. I am looking forward to that. The garden conservancy asked if they could use one of my pictures on their website. Naturally I said YES!!! they used the one I did on Brandon Tyson in Sausalito. the Hottem garden is on the tour. There are so many garden out there in the world I would love to see. I appreciate any effort people do, however. For me it is the spirit of the people involved which really gets to me. There are so many posts I have in my head I am planning to do. I have not even shown my own garden yet! I focused this season on a meadow effect with lots of poppies( went crazy with shirly poppies and apricot, purple! white california varieties) punctuated with old fashioned flowers like hollyhocks, bachelor buttons, love in mist, lupines and larkspur. It has been a lot of fun to recreate plant lists popular early in the 20th century, such as Celia Thaxters garden. anyway, it is all very informal but great fun. Best regards, Zoe Philip Hi Zoe!

Not unlike that Hortus Conclusus that followed, but obviously a different faith base. The gardens at Alhambra are high on my list of must see before I die list. I am visiting another this coming weekend. Vita Sackville-West's Sissinghurt. I have Hidcote and Kiftgate inked in for July! What gardens are at the top of your list?
