A Garden To Keep The Deer Out!

My neighbors have a beautiful garden and the deer don't get even one little
bite of anything! Of course they do enjoy the flowers and she has never even
seen her Lilies!I guess it started with the Marionberries - the deer wouldn't leave them
alone so that was the deciding factor on fencing everything in. I think there
are even fences inside the fences! But it's really a beautiful garden and even
prettier knowing that no one gets to munch on it but you!There's a really pretty trellis with a Clematis on each side at the entrance
to the garden. Some of these pictures were taken a while back so the Clematis
wasn't blooming.

Daylilies line the front
They have Marionberries, Blueberries, Strawberries and probably more I don't
remember.

A huge patch of Rhubarb and they also have Asparagus that comes back

An orchard of apple and cherry trees - maybe more I'm not sure. But they haven't
been able to get any cherries because of the birds eating them. She had heard
about hanging shiny things in the trees to keep the birds away. She had some old
CD's and hung them in the Cherry trees and this is the first year the birds have
left the cherries alone!

Here's another shot with the Daylilies blooming
A butterfly was nice enough to pose for us

This was taken earlier - coming down the driveway you can see the Rhodies
blooming in alternating pinks

I believe this was a Dutch Iris that was blooming because she had a white one that
was finished and I think maybe that's where my white Dutch Iris came from that
showed up one year - a little bird thought I needed one too.

She didn't know what this was but it's very attractive and different.

Japanese Iris Variegata - very pretty with it's varigated leaves

Brunnera Variegata Siberian Bugloss - I didn't realize until I got home and looked at the
picture of the tag that this was a Brunnera. I think I may need this one for a
different look in my shade garden. Something has been nibbling on the leaves
she's going to treat.

I was pretty happy to get to share in her seeing her first Lily blooming. EVER!
When she told me about a month ago they eat the buds of this one I told her to
get some Liquid Fence and I guess it's working. What a shame to have missed it
on other years - it's just beautiful.

Sweet Williams

Maltese Cross

Hardy Orchid

And last - isn't this different? It's a Euphorbia Tasmanian Tiger
