Anemone japonica in the Connecticut garden of Robin Magowan . Nearly more beautiful than any Mary Cassatt or Willard Metcalf picture . One of the greatest pleasures of being active extremity of plant society such as the North American Rock Garden Society , ( NARGS ) , is the people you meet . Over the years we have meet many interesting people , with awesome life sentence stories , incredible gardens and have made long lasting friendly relationship , and in a domain of Facebook , blogs and e-mail , assemble real people is a uncommon matter sometimes ! Last weeks ’ shop on till - making was held in the westerly Connecticut garden of Robin Magowan , well known for his alpine garden plantings , and oft feature in journals , magazines articles and on television receiver programs . It was a treat to be able to take some time after the workshop and tour Robin ’s garden . A Zinnia grandiflora bloom in the John Rock gardenGrasses and maple in full , autumnal aura march the clearest and cleanest Koi pond I have ever seen . These are the lucky fish in the world . A Colchicum ‘ The Waterlily ” blooms solo , near a great rock .
I ’m guessing that this is a Glaucium grandiflorum or G. flavum , a ‘ horned poppy ’ in bloom on the slope of the massive rock garden in full Dominicus . These ‘ mountains ’ mimic the real hills in the length , a thoughful landscape design is the first matter I noticed about this garden . A well garden has both humour , folly and botanical interests in it . Robin ’s garden has it all . Plus art ! It ’s not too serious , nor too horticultural , with tags ruining the view . I like that . I attempt to hit all of my tags in the rock garden , choose to reckon thing up , instead . An fall Clematis never looks much better than this . Clematis paniculata is the queen of fall vine displays .
