February Flowers in Americus Garden

Another beautiful day at the Americus Garden Inn. Thought it would be the perfect time to give you a tour of the flowers in the garden. The Japanese magnolia located next to the koi pond has just started to bloom.The daylilies are beginning to break ground.
Along the driveway, the daffodils have appeared.

A beautiful specimen in the stone arch garden.

One of the camellias that is full of buds.

The snowball bush on the path towards the gazebo has some new flowers.

The ruby lorapetalum is full of blooms.

Buds can be found on the many tea olive bushes.

This is the first time we've seen this in the garden.

A closer look at oleander seeds.

Thanks for taking a stroll with me through the garden. Visit us again soon.

Fall Photos of our Americus Georgia Garden

Take a stroll with me through the garden at the Americus Garden Inn as we truly begin to see the transition of summer to fall. Remember to click on the photos for a larger image.

The cannas are still in bloom. There is actually fruit on the pineapple guava bushes. Kim tasted one and said it was reminiscent of a kiwi with hints of citrus.
Around the yard, there is the wonderful floral fragrance of tea olive.

The dogwood leaves are showing color.

Red foliage is apparent on the blueberry bushes.

The Chinese flame tree has what looks like two red pom-poms in this view of the path towards the gazebo.

A closeup of the foliage.

A look at the oakleaf hydrangea.

The Indian Hawthorn is covered with berries.

The lantana is thriving in this cooler weather,
So is the purple queen,
And the knockout roses.
A perfect bud for you, my friends!
Thanks for taking some time with me today. There are photo ops all over the garden so you can expect more photos from me soon. Hope you are enjoying a glorious day.

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
