This was the "Secret
Garden" tour of Waldport
and Yachats, to up in the
hills to the east. It included
8 gardens. Most by the
Alsea and Yachats rivers.
The proceeds of the tour went to the
"Samaritan House" providing shelter for
the homeless along the Oregon coast.
This Alium Gigantus was the most
spectacular flower.
Further down is a variety of the regular size.
This old tree was struck
by lightning and landed
with the pieces like this.
It is HUGE. The whole
top half is out of the
picture. It makes a lovely
cover for this nice
garden.
Two of the gardens were
on neighboring properties
separated by a wonderful
path strewn with
evergreen huckleberries
It was my favorite,
magical place.
An apple blossom viburnum.
Strikingly beautiful.
Escalonia pruned into gorgeous trees!
Many, many glass chickens in this garden.
Colorful Watsonia. Some
turn red, purple, or pink
if grown near the white.
So, this white one is kept by itself!
A very unique octopus.
Along the Yachats river.
An oriental garden
This is quite
a few pictures,
but I narrowed it
from over 100.
My friends and I
enjoyed our day.
