Fwd: Fw: A YARD IN Tacoma, Washington GORGEOUS!!

A YARD IN Tacoma, Washington

  
For  years many have passed this house  in Tacoma . Last  year there was no display and we had wondered if the Asian  man who owns this house was ill. This year the display was  back in force and we stopped this past Sunday to photograph  it. We went up to the owner and told him how much we had  enjoyed his garden all these years and he invited us to tour  his creation. We found the backyard to be as beautiful as  the front. He is Vietnamese, shy, very soft spoken, and  speaks very little English, so we couldn't discuss too much  with him about the garden.

View  from the street, which always catches our  attention.  As  you can see a lot of the flowers are in pots. I guess this  is so they can be changed easily. The front of the house is not  neglected,either. I wonder if he takes the pots in at night  to keep them from being  stolen. Here is the master gardener! I  wish we could have communicated. I will print up some of  these photos and give them to  him. No  words needed. Look  at how precise the hanging pots are lined  up. Entrance to the  backyard. And  here is the backyard. WOW! More  of the back. More  hanging baskets. And  more baskets. Here  is a the real beauty.    A hand shows the size. It is hard to believe this is one  man's  work           and I believe he must work on it every day, all day  long. What an  accomplishment.                      Too pretty to not pass-on.
