Petunia

The other week I was visiting my distant cousin, Freddie Green Paws,  at the Tupper Hill Norcross Wildlife Sanctuary in Wales, Mass. (Open 9-4pm  Tues through Sat.) He is a gardener there. He gave me a tour of some of their public trails that go through the various different plant habitat zones. The woodland garden has a meandering stream through it. There is nice boardwalk so you don’t get your paws wet. The flowers were amazing.

He introduced me to Petunia who supervises the Rose Garden. Her office is a hollow in a tree overlooking the garden. She can see every nook and cranny in the place.

The flowers are gorgeous

Great photo opportunities

Petunia is ever watchful

I think one of the staff missed a weed

Time for a back scratch

“Is that the famous blogger Chippy in my garden?”

“Chippy, make sure you get a shot of my best side, my prize winning tail.”

Petunia relaxes rests after an “exhausting” photo shoot for my blog. I took fifty photos before I got a picture of her tail which was “satisfactory”
