YARD OF THE MONTH AWARD FOR AUGUST

18312 Weatherwood Drive

This was a fun experiment. When the homeowner asked if I had driven by during the evening to see the lighted gardens, I had to admit "no" to that, but what a great idea (and truly an experiment) to take night-light photos. First though, I had to figure out how to use the manual adjustments on my camera. With a tripod, and accompanied by a hoard of mosquitoes, I set the f-stop to 16 and let the camera set its own speed. And voila! Some very pretty colors. Gorgeous beds of caladiums and a beautiful yard at the Lake at White Oak. Congratulations to the homeowners.

WOW, i can't believe noone has commented on this topic. Those alocasias look incredibly beautiful lit up like that. It's truly mindblowing. Although the fact that this homeowner had this many might be more amazing to me. Thank you so much for sharing this, from one plant lover to another. Please let me know if you ever show photos like this again, i'd love to see them. Furthermore, i hope others, with this comment, start noticing as well. Subscribed to your blog! :)

Thank you for commenting. And thanks for letting me know that the caladiums are alocasias! There are over 300 in these gardens. And the owner was kind enough to tell me how and when to dig up bulbs and keep them over the winter. I love white alocasias in a shade garden and plan to try saving mine this winter. And thanks for subscribing to my blog. I am subscribing to yours too.

Sallie,

These are beautiful. Great of you to share with all of us. I lived in White Oak Landing for several years and almost bought in Lake at White Oak. It's a great subdivision.

Sallie, Absolutely beautiful photos. I'd buy the house just for those gardens. Also, thanks for your thoughtful comment on my Prayer Request for my mom and her doggie.

Wow... That is really beautiful. We are trying to decide on new plants for our yard. I forgot about elephant ears... I love them.
