The Evil Garden of Edward Gorey
"Longtime Massachusetts resident Edward Gorey was a man of a singular sensibility. His books, numbering over 100, feature a whimsical and macabre style that is instantly recognizable, vaguely threatening, but also quite witty. Perhaps best known for the opening animation of the PBS series Masterpiece Mystery!, his works remain an American treasure."
"When we discovered he had penned and illustrated a book entitled The Evil Garden, well, how could we resist the challenge of bringing a Gorey version of the bulb show to fruition? A slightly poisonous fruition, but to be sure, infinitely fun. But beware, as Gorey put it, "Few seem to return from the borders to which I've sent them.""

I took almost 300 pictures! (I got a new 32 gig memory card recently so I have lots of space...lol). So, I thought I'd share some of the beauty with you tonight.
We were delighted to get parking right in front of the door :)
Entry...
On the way to pick me up, Lindy saw a whole flock of black buzzards in a tree...

...and then, when we got there, we saw this first thing and thought it a fun syncronicity.
And let the color begin...
Hello ;)
Whoa..wouldn't want to run into one of these in a dark rainforest! ;)
