Summer Garden and Meadow at Otter Creek
As July arrives, the flowers in the evergreen rock garden are really starting to open.
White Cone flowers will be in full bloom in another week.
Purple and pink flowers (below) are beginning to cover the garden.
Hemlock House, below, is surrounded by Virginia Pines, maples, oaks, and hemlocks as the setting sun peeks over the distant mountain.
Blue wildflowers, below, are scattered across the meadows.
The Colorado Blue Spruce, below, that I planted three years ago has finally decided to start growing. I had almost given up on it. The Loblolly Pines that I planted the same time are now over twelve feet tall. Go figure.
The front yard has become a small forest, below, with five different varieties of pine and spruce.
