I thought it was a Euphorbia but was hoping it was a perennial flower instead. <br /><br />Balisha: It was a lovely visit and we did enjoy it so much.<br /><br />Janet: It would have been just the spot for a wedding. I imagine they have a lot of them there. So pretty.<br /><br />Jennifer: I was surprised to see one blooming that late in Virginia Too.<br /><br />Nadezda: Those turtles really loved that floating garden away from all of the people.<br /><br />Zoey: It is always fun to visit new gardens and this was a beautiful spot.<br /><br />Cher: It was a lovely setting for taking pictures. I am sure they have a lot of photo ops there.<br /><br />Jeri: That would make a great illustration! I am puzzled by your hydrangea girl. LOL! I can figure the pinks and purples but the yellow bloom not turning puzzles me. Although My dwarf Forever hydrangea has all different colors of blooms like your they do eventually change back to a green. Yours is one mixed up hydrangea but it has to be beautiful!<br /><br />Jeanny: Thank you and I hope you sale a bunch of sheds.

I just plant a load of black petunias to offset them (the bunny seems to like snacking on the euphorbia though .. oops !) So that is what the plant is .. I only wish they could make a perennial of these because they are so pretty eh ?<br />Joy<br />PS .. I am on my way to bed .. long garden day for me ;-)CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.com
