You may have noticed a lack of posting lately (or maybe not, perhaps you too are out enjoying summer). Between actually taking a vacation ourselves, and having family from out of state come to visit, it’s been a busy month. We just arrived home from Vegas, and oh my! Talk about garden dreams.

If you have been to Vegas and seen the gardens at the Bellagio, then you know what I am talking about. We were there in time to see the “summer” display, full of favorite flowers. The main part of the display was a giant flower pot, tipped over, with flowers spilling out. Next to it, a huge spade. In front, fountains played, it was so magical. There were even frogs, snails, and ladybugs made of flowers.

I would be in heaven if I could build a magical garden like theirs. Seriously, it was so beautiful and it makes me wish that I could see it every time they change it (they do different displays through the year). The one thing that I have tried to grow, with out any flowers, is hydrangea. My plant does well, but never flowers. The botanical gardens at Bellagio were FULL of hydrangea flowers (among others).

What grows in your dream garden?
