After the rain, mid-summer, from our kitchen door

If you google "5 leaved akebia" this shot comes up pretty quick! The akebia covers the far arbor, over Ted's office door. The arbor over the kitchen door is Kiwi.

Is this the largest house plant in the Northeast?

From the living room floor. What a great tree! It's about 95 feet tall; only about 20 feet of it is in the Garden Room.

Finally, a good view of the ash tree in the Garden Room and the widow's walk canvas roof.

Cappoosh and the nasturtiums

This was after a swim in the lake at Dog Beach. The nasturtiums outside the front door were abundant, as usual.

The Garden Room in February

When it's still white and frigid outside the garden room is warm and lush on a sunny day. The ivy is very abundant after a humble beginning - just 2 plants 10 years ago. This is the view from the master bedroom.

Mmmm... July in Vermont is heavenly.

Angel's Trumpet - Brugmansia

I had this lovely, HUGE Brugmansia for 2 years, but then I lost it because I let it get too cold in the Garden Room last winter. I am so sorry. It had grown into a spectacular plant that reminded us so much of Hawai'i.
