morning iris
The perennial garden at the Stevens-Coolidge House & Gardens is a home to bearded iris.
My first iris-seeking visit to Stevens-Coolidge this past Friday evening showed lots of buds but only a few flowers in bloom. When I headed to the garden early this morning I found many of them in full bloom. I love this one wearing pure purple!Posted by Denise Goldberg at 2:10 PM

tree peonies
The tree peonies at Long Hill are starting to bloom.
Friday's visit gifted me with flowers from a few plants; according to the master gardener more should follow this week. Yes, I will visit again soon!Posted by Denise Goldberg at 8:38 AM

photos! Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens
Monday's visit to the botanical gardens in Boothbay, Maine was well worth the drive.
I enjoyed walking through the gardens and down the trails, enjoying the spring flowers and the trolls.Posted by Denise Goldberg at 6:44 AM

trolls in the garden
Today I visited the trolls at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. It's a bit of a haul for an out-and-back visit but I needed a change of pace.
Five giant trolls are scattered across the property, created by Danish artist Thomas Dambo. They seem to be quite friendly. This is Soren, who sticks up for the BRANCHES of the tree. A description of him from a sign in the garden:Soren is a very curious troll; his head is always turning and twisting, searching for places ever higher. He dreams about drifting around on a cloud in the sky, and when the wind is blowing, he loves to celebrate with a dance.
