Back in the garden

Today you can look at a few more views of the

 garden and the pool

Most of the plants in the garden have been grown from
cuttings, this bright rose came from a garden in Leeds,

and this one from a friends garden near by.

The original site of the house was a cherry orchard, a
 couple of the trees remain and give shade for the hamac.

The pool has a border of sedums, so pretty against
 the marble surround and the blue water.

One side of the pool is raised above ground level.

By the pool is a gravel plage and it is either fenced
 or walled off on the three other sides.

All the plants are chosen for their resistance
 to the hot, dry climate.

These photos are from the summer of course.
