First the Fauna, Now the Flora

In my previous post I showed you some of the local wildlife (such as it is at our house, there are more beasties who I will introduce you to later), I thought I would show you all what I see out the various patios and verandas around our house.  Some are beautiful and strange to this midwesterner

 And some are easily recognized.  But I will give credit to the humble gardeners who work within this estate, there are few gardens that can compare to the beautiful ones here.
And then, there are more chilling landscapes. Good vs. Evil, no?
