A Splash Of Garden Colour

"It is good to be alone in a garden at dawn or dark so that all its shy
presences may haunt you and possess you in a reverie of suspended thought."
- James Douglas -

The adorable Gaillardia dwarf goblin adds a splash of colour to the garden. Can’t wait for its return in the spring.

  1. I love this flower. My husband is the gardener at my house and since he is English, I am always asking him what it is called. I just love to hear him say it in his accent!

  2. Like a sunset! I especially like how it looks with some of it's petals off, it looks well thought out by Nature.

  3. Very striking flower - I love that it is a 'dwarf goblin' :) I'm reading The Crystal Shard right now and like LOTR, there are dwarves, elves and halflings in it.

  4. @Kay: Ha ha...I can imagine! My daughter is a huge fan of the English accent. Yesterday, while at the local mall, a couple walked by speaking with an English accent and she got all excited!

    @Jane: It's one of my favourites in the garden; just lovely. Sounds like a cool book. I'll have to take a look at it. And if I like it, it'll be added to the list of a gazillion books waiting to be read...LOL...
