FENCES AROUND THE WORLD

My contribution to this weeks Fences Around the World is from Meadowlark Gardens.  It is a favorite place of ours for a walk, as I've mentioned many times in other posts.  

 I took these photos near the visitor center.  There is a patio area on one side. 
A lovely place to rest after walking up the hill from the lake area.
There are lots of flowers and plants on the patio, not only in the flower beds leading up to it, but in large planters and...
also hanging on a trellis fence.
There were still many flowers blooming, but temperatures will be dropping soon (today's visit to the garden was on October 2nd, 2018).
I see the English Ivy trailing over the planter above.  Do you know what that yellow bloom is?  The others I am not sure about either.

This is the Common coleus, also known as Painted Nettle.

If you would like to see other fences, or join in with your own, you can go here.  Thank you for hosting Gosia!  

And thank you for visiting everyone.  
Have a great weekend!

    Second picture made me wish I was there, basking in sunlight and warmth. Yes, wishful thinking.

    A beautiful area to rest in. I had Coleus plants for many years, but didn't know they are also called Painted Nettle.

      It certainly is Rose. I have even been there in the snow and it's just gorgeous! You just have to watch your step a bit more.
