The Courtyard {Spring 2015}


The courtyard in the rear of our home is lush and green due to the rains we have received lately.

The courtyard itself does not get a whole lots of light, so ferns and kettle leaves dominate the space. White caladiums add seasonal pops of cooling white.
Large troughs hold leaves, ferns, caladiums, and hydrangeas.

The path leading from the front yard features pots of asparagus fern atop the concrete fence as well as more kettle leaves along the path. Pots of ferns hang on the brick wall.

  5. It is so beautiful. I wish I could keep stag horn ferns alive. It must be so hard to leave your home, it is a showplace.
