I jhope life is treating you well
Today I am again back at the Haskell Gardens here in New Bedford, and will share a few plants and flowers I spotted there on a recent visit.
Starting with this fruit, which Google wants to tell me is a Rangpur which I have never heard of before, it kind of looke dlike an orange but was fairly small
a little bit about the gardens
For over 30 years, lifelong New Bedford resident Allen C. Haskell cared for this property as a successful nursery. Haskell was so known for his horticultural talents that celebrities like Martha Stewart and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis were among his fans. After Haskell’s passing, The Trustees saved the property in 2012 to protect this unique urban garden from development.
Today, the Allen C. Haskell Public Gardens feature six acres of carefully designed gardens, greenhouses, and one of the oldest houses in New Bedford, all arranged around a wide green common space — perfect for a sunlit picnic or to explore with a camera which is what I do :)
I have shared shots of an empty greenhouse recently, but on this visit they had some plnts in one, and a few out at the end of the greenhouse
NOw not being the gardener like my father was, who I am sure he would have bene able to tell me what this plant was, but alas I have no idea but it looked cool
and another plany in a pot, Google image search is beigng so helpful NOT LOL it told me this is a flowerpot lOL
Well I guess it is right but i wanted to know what the plant was, not what it was in
and to finish off a couple of flowers I saw there now i could well be wrong but i think this is some form of lavender
and this little flower is so vibrant it sure catches ones attention
And that’s all folks
unless stated otherwise all photos used in my posts are taken and owned by myself, if you wish to use any of my images please contact me.
