Red Doors

It is getting close to the annual West Asheville Garden Stroll. My volunteer duties still include picture taking. That means I get a sneak peak at things.

Another gardener knows about the wonders of wood chip mulch.




















A different kind of impatiens.




















I was there at the exact right time to see the bloom spikes glow.


























Another red door. I don't think my eyes are deceiving me. This old garage looks slightly askew.




















Stone lips.




















Reflections of the eclectic neighborhoods of West Asheville.





















A red house with a green door.




















There is so much to see on a slow stroll through the neighborhoods. This is only a small sample of the 17 gardens on this year's stroll.

    The flowers in your 2nd pic I call touch-me-nots. I got the seed for mine from 2 sweet old ladies who have been dead for about 20 years.

    What a tease! WAGS is so much fun (even before the tour)

    Sallysmom, the touch-me-nots were in the quite large garden of a sweet old lady.

    Katie, anticipation can be a good thing. Don't want to give too much away.

    That second red door is off or a good optical illusion. I like those Impatiens...used to have them in VA.
