A Hello from South Carolina


Hello my blogger friends, I'm here in the State of South Carolina. The South will now be my new home, but where I permanently land is unknown at the moment. This is a Temporary touch down, GA, SC and NC, are all contenders.. And for now I'm staying with relatives until I find my bearings.

My sister took me site seeing and she knew exactly what I wanted to do first... Go visit a garden

Below: A few photos of Hatcher Garden a public garden and woodland Preserve here in South Carolina.

                                                                   
    I love Gazebos...



 And this cute little bridge with ferns...





Below: A close up of those gorgeous Elephant Ears in the back ground above; correct me if these are not Elephant Ears.. I won't mind.. But I think I'm right.





Below:  A Banana tree



Below: I also love all kinds of conifers...I believe this one is a Japanese conifer




More conifers...



This is unique..Wish I knew what it was...I got to do some researching



Below: Love the grasses...


Below: This shrub has an intoxicating citrus scent... It's got to be a citrus, but what kind I wonder?


" aaah the relaxing sounds of water.


Below: click to see and  hear the water...





I love frogs, I  hope to have a few in my future garden


Very unique... I have no idea what it is, several of the plant markers that Identify these plants were missing or not replaced.



Below: Love, love, love, these...I assume they belong to the palm family.



The South ain't the south with-out a Magnolia. This one was a giant and approximately 20 feet.



NEXT..... we ride through the country side...and snap some photos of Anderson Mill's Cows...


These cows were curious but cautious...


If I thought I was going to pet this one, I would have been sadly mistaken... Look at the expression on this heifers face... I read her loud and clear...
She said " I dare ya"



That's all for now Y'all  ..Thanks for stopping by.

    Good morning Vetsy ~ I tried getting in here last night, but the post wasn't here even though it was on the list. Glad I checked again this morning. So glad you've made it to S.C. I'm sure you are enjoying the new scenery. I enjoyed the garden tour and the little farm tour also. Farms are quickly disappearing down here.

    Wishing you a place of your own, just right for you and that all things work out. Enjoy the hunt.

    Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment on my blog.

    Hugs ~ FlowerLady

    Hey, I thought all the cows were here in Wisconsin:) I guess some farmer left the gate open.

    A whole new world of gardening has opened up for you and a much longer growing season. Lucky you.

    Keep us posted, blogger friend. donna

    that's an amazing garden! i really enjoyed the tour and i'm glad you're happy being back in the south. i can't wait to see what you'll do with the new gardening opportunities, being able to grow citrus and other things that you can't grow outdoors in most places of the country.
