My Scottish Garden "Monets"

The opportunity to photograph the gardens at Rossie House, Forgandenny, Perthshire was a real treat. Judy Nichol, our hostess has created a flowing stream of texture and color throughout her property. Every winding curve reveals a new painting to be captured. The gardens also have the element of varying elevation which creates more drama.

The blue bells with the sun setting upon them were spectacular. I was amazed to find giant trilliums tucked in among the trees.

An opportunity to view something unique occured on Bute Island at the Fernery. This is the private home and gardens of Wallace & Katherine Fyfe and demonstrates what the love of gardening can create.

Unfortunately Wallace passed away recently, but upon my visit, I met Katherine weeding away diligently.

Once home to Alexander Stewart, the Victorian Fern house is half in the ground, its beautiful glass ceiling protecting a collection of ferns from around the world. The rest of the gardens are just as intriguing. One notable surprise was the blue poppies blowing in the breeze.
