You have created a beautiful spot along the tropical pathway. It is hard to believe it is only 2 short years from the "before" to the "now" pictures. All the leaf shapes and shades of color blend so well.

This was a lovely walk. Thank you.
I can understand why it is a recharging station for you.
I love looking at your photographs of the butterflies that visit your gardens.

The garden definitely serves as regenerative therapy for me, and there's no other place I'd rather be. Surrounded by the beauty of nature...what more could a girl ask for!

Meems, As always your garden looks great, one of these days I will get by and get some cuttings of your Philippine Violets.

FlowerLady,
The purple philippine blooms in spring and summer but not the white one. I planted a few of them literally 15 years ago and they are still popping up wherever they please.

Andrea,
You are so sweet to say the nicest things about my garden. The Philippine Violet is Barleria Cristata and only blooms in autumn here.

Cathy,
You are a little bit

Hi Meems, i am very familiar with the lushness and 'personality' of your garden, in fact in one of my previous posts i wrote that I want my garden to be like yours, in an area as wide as Carol's The Flower Hill Farm. I am really envious of the health in yours, and the diligence you put in them. It really is so energizing and inspiring to stay in a garden as yours. I want to tell you

Dear Meems ~ Your peaceful area really touches me. It is oh so lovely and I can see why it effects you the way it does.

I have the purple Philippine violet, have never seen the white. It is wonderful the way this self sows.

Happy gardening here in the cooler weather.

Hugs ~ FlowerLady

It is true, Rohrerbot. When we hang out in the places that bring contentment and peace it is energizing and inspiring to keep us working on the areas not so pleasing or the ones that need more tender-loving-hands-time. :-)

This is really nice. I feel the same way. Certain parts of the garden act the same way for me. I love the space because I have birds and all kinds of butterflies flying around it. It's really wonderful, but then I walk into the "other" areas and I think, this needs to get replaced or that.....but right now I find that if I leave the area and just "escape" into my
