Daily Garden: Porch Pretty in Ile d’Orleans, Quebec, CA

I am so late today with posting (the bad news) but on the upside, I am the proud owner of a new washer and dryer and over a months load of dirty clothes are making their way through our new system.  Yeah!

While I was traveling in Canada, I had a couple of “whoa, stop the car!” moments.  I found some really great little gardens that I took lots of inspiration from.   This one was such a pretty compilation of olive, orange and yellow (three of my favorite colors in the garden) and I think it shows so well how effective design can be when you limit the color palette.

This hanging basket was airy and ethereal in a way that seemed to perfectly fit this space and is easily my favorite thing — and to tell the truth, combined with the orange painted corner brackets, where what made me stop the bus in the first place.

    As I look over these images again…my eye immediately goes to the Hosta flowers that in my mind, need to be cut back (immediately – before they even bloom) — I hate hosta flowers and while I am generally a scattered and slightly messy person, I am obsessed with keeping hostas ‘clean’ – does anyone else feel this way?
