Reford Gardens is known for its blue poppies.    They have acid soil and the humidity from the river.   My fathers garden in Denmark had a large patch of Meconopsis betonicifolia.    I did not know how special that was  They always  turned towards the sun, but in his garden the sun only shone on this patch in the evening and then they turned aways from us.  They are hairy plants, and lofty meaning the flowerstalk is high.

We can hardly grow this in Ontario  our soil is alkaline and it might be too dry

 

 

 

Looking towards the river these portals are looming

 



Coming closer  I do not think they are looming anymore now they are more framing, making illusions

 

and here you can better see the illusions of water rippling



and here we look through "binoculars"  a specific view

 

and here the illusion is gone:  It was plywood in sheets painted with holes. When we left the area  the wind had picked up and the plywood was falling over

Never mind I still love looking at this sequence.
