Oh beautiful colours everywhere, wouldn't know where to start with my favourites but the red colours are particularly nice. Well done.

Yes, he said he was a Gardener first, and that all of his inspiration came from that. I loved the red flowers too! And the little turquoise barrow planter, and the cleverly hidden water spout at the pond. Lovely to see your garden!

Wow. I'm sure Monet would have approved!

You have created a garden filled with joy. I would love to go exploring in it meeting all your little figures in pretty places.

It is a riot of colour L'strife, such a pleasure to see it in all its glory....

Thank you all for your comments. Some of you have noticed the predominance of red in the garden. The purpose of this is to attract hummingbirds into the garden.

They are certainly stunning and the red flowers obviously work for the hummingbirds. Fancy have hummingbirds on Monarda - Wow!
Also fancy having Mandevilla (Dipladenia) growing in the garden, does it survive the winter?

No Honeysuckle. Mandavilla prefers to grow in a zone 9 and my growing zone in the USA is 6. In other words it is happy in Miami Florida but fizzles out as winter approaches in New York City.
