Easter Garden Treasures

A stroll through the garden revealed a treasure trove of blooms. These are some of our knockout roses. Remember to click the photos for a larger view.
The oakleaf hydrangea has begun to bloom.
A pomegranate blossom by the gazebo.
Stella d'oro daylilies in the side garden.
Crinum lilies in one of our planters.
One of several salvia varieties in the garden.
Whirling butterflies or guara.
Most of the oleander is full of buds, but, several blooms have appeared.
Happy returns daylilies on the path.
Creeping jasmine blooms near the entry point to the back garden. Wish I could share the incredible aroma with you!
The pond iris are almost finished blooming, but, these 2 beauties remain.
Hope you had a wonderful day, this Easter Sunday. Thanks for your virtual visit to the Americus Garden Inn. Come see us!

A Beautiful Day in Americus Georgia

The Red Dragon Japanese Maple has filled out beautifully. Let's take a little stroll down the path.
We can relax for a moment or two on the bench.
Check out the Knock-Out Roses.
Looking across from the bench, we can see Rufus, Squeaky and Kitten enjoying the shade under the Vitex tree.
On closer look, our neighbor's cats are enjoying a cool drink from the pond.
Along the edge of the pond, you can see some of the tadpoles are almost frogs.
Wish you were here to enjoy this beautiful day with us at the Americus Garden Inn.

The Frogs Arrived in time for Easter

There is nothing quite like the sound of frogs calling out in the night. How many frogs can you find in these photos? There are a lot more than you think.
As the temperatures have risen, the koi have become more active in the pond and they greedily devour frog eggs.

The first knockout rose of the year.



Wish we had a way to share the fragrance of the tea olive

and the Indian Hawthorn.
As unusual as its form, the curly filbert has a unique flower.


Happy Easter from Kim and Susan Egelseer
