It seems to me that everyone in my family is an artist.  This is the garden of my uncle Paul Leblond.  It is a very magical garden with plants and colours everywhere.

As a designer who does a lot of leaf-inspired embellishments, I am especially stunned by this section of the garden.  The shapes of the leaves and the two toned colour combinations are unique and inspiring.

Cleomes.  Always loved them.  They make the most delightful seed pods that spring open if they are touched, releasing a cascade of little black seeds into your hand.

This is the view from the back porch on a rainy day.
