Sort of a mini-Butchart Gardens. My sister frows rare and exotic plants at her home in Salem, Oregon. The Pacific Northwest certainly is perfect for so many beautiful trees, flowers and shrubs. Now that I live in New Mexico, I must make due with xeric plants, but the wildflowers here are truly spectacular and all the more valued in this arid land.Vickihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06151347352054602839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236724941582496.post-43234181305033312402009-07-03T10:24:12.967-07:002009-07-03T10:24:12.967-07:00This is just beyond perfect, couldn&#39;t they have left a few weeds here and there? It wouldn&#39;t be such an impossible inspiration then!<br /><br />The rockery is seriously impressive and the Japanese maple is in superb condition for early summer - I can&#39;t see a single scorched leaf.<br /><br />I write a blog on growing Japanese maples and I have two upcoming articles on rockeries and automatic irrigation; I&#39;d love to use the picture of the rockery and the maple in the pot with your permission. I would be more than happy to link back to this post from each article. <br /><br />Does your sister or her husband know what varieties they are?<br /><br />JohnJohnhttp://www.japanesemapleguide.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236724941582496.post-13818157174475991932009-06-29T02:05:23.062-07:002009-06-29T02:05:23.062-07:00Garden lust indeed.<br />Makes me long for a temperate summer, and a green thumb!Housewife Savanthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13276777227256457700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236724941582496.post-8863910933080299762009-06-28T22:43:01.641-07:002009-06-28T22:43:01.641-07:00Oh wow Lori -- that is incredible! I have serious Garden Lust.

It&#39;s great you did a mosaic because there is so much more to see this way. This garden requires a lot of hard work &amp; love and I think it is getting both...

It could be a botanical garden and I so envy that mountain view. I know how much work goes into grounds as beautiful as this and I applaud them. The house is lovely. You must feel like you are at a resort when you stay there. <br />XOLucyFlorida Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18265045109830187444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236724941582496.post-3821455888146203652009-06-28T16:02:27.403-07:002009-06-28T16:02:27.403-07:00Wow - fabulous landscaping!
