Floramagoria; it doesn't disappoint

Floramagoria is one of those gardens that imprints itself so vividly on your psyche that to visit once is to be able to return, in living color, whenever your mind calls up the garden. Which may be why even though I haven't been there in person since 2015, I feel like I was just there yesterday. Well yes, okay, in this instance it was almost yesterday. I visited on Saturday, June 29th.

For those of you who haven't been, this is the original mullet garden. Business in the front, party in the back. The front is green and ferny and quite lovely...

There are a pair of fern table plantings up near the house.

And a privacy screen with planting shelves.

Then you walk down the narrow side yard (I was unable to get a shot that wasn't all legs, visitor legs) and enter the back garden...where carnivorous plants great you.

Then you look to your left and get an idea of just what wonders lie ahead...

The greenhouse, spiffed up for the occasion.

This spiky forest against the back of the house is protected in the wintertime.

Agave 'Sharkskin'

Agave 'Blue Glow'

They do containers well here...

Very well...

Looking straight ahead towards the back of the garden. Where we just explored is on my right, the back entrance to the house is behind me.

To the left...

To the right...

Moving ahead...

Looking back towards the house now, and the pavilion off the back of the house. I didn't take any photos under the pavilion as there was a crowd.

Walking back towards the front of the house, on the veggie garden side of things.

Well, they're not all veggies...

Turning back where we've just been, and saying adiós! Well, until tomorrow, when we'll briefly return for a vignette shot. Isn't this garden just amazing?
