I see so many houses with some variety of twin lions.<br /><br />Sharon: I've never seen that show! Gotta check it out! :)<br /><br />YP: I didn't post that shot. This is a G-rated blog.<br /><br />Linda Sue: Actually, it was a bit trying for Dave. He got very tired which is partly why we sat in the cafe for a while. But I do think it was good for him to get out.<br /><br />Jenny-O: Home is where the heart is, or something like that. Also, I never responded to your comment the other day about Olga not "beating up" the neighbor dog. I was really joking -- Olga looks like a bruiser but she has never attacked another dog, thank god. Not even little tiny ones, and she's been around chihuahuas and pekingese and pretty much all sorts with her dog walkers.<br /><br />N2: Thank you SO MUCH for identifying that flower! We'll have to get some. :)Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-1355281631411561132016-05-29T23:07:19.745+01:002016-05-29T23:07:19.745+01:00Lovely post.

They are quite easy to start from seed and will reseed themselves as well.

Those poor ladies worked in some of the most beautiful gardens but, unfortunately some one was always getting killed wherever they went. :-) Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645915869786296771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-15545242965705735672016-05-29T16:56:27.486+01:002016-05-29T16:56:27.486+01:00Thank you for all the beautiful photos.

We marveled at the great number and varieties of flowers in the exhibition halls and would have loved to have bought two huge brass lions to be shipped to the U.S. but alas not in the budget.<br />We love our home garden as well.Cheryl Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00669462404986779573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-12545167999577161672016-05-29T16:17:22.100+01:002016-05-29T16:17:22.100+01:00gorgeous flowers and gardens. it takes a full tim...gorgeous flowers and gardens. it takes a full time job for it though. sometimes I think that would be a great job to have.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-15379592479723435412016-05-29T15:26:09.435+01:002016-05-29T15:26:09.435+01:00Gardening has been completely changed recently. as...Gardening has been completely changed recently. as you say color size and shape are used to put together very attractive gardens.
