While at the recent Antique Paper and Postcard show I also purchased four new postcards of Lambert Gardens that I did not have in the collection. Actually I came across four or five others that I need to complete the set, but there is no hurry.
REGAL ROSE ARBOR,
COURT OF ROSE FESTIVAL QUEEN
SPANISH POOL
SPRING TIME
The large tree in this postcard as well as on other
postcards from Lambert Gardens is called "The Ghost Tree".
I believe it to be a variety of Magnolia.
COURT OF THE ROSE FESTIVAL QUEEN
Side note: the postcards in the collection are linen cards, where as current postcards are classified as chrome cards.
Beautiful old postcards! So sad that this gorgeous garden is now covered with apartments. The ephemeral nature of gardens, of all life, makes the enjoyment even more precious.
ReplyDeleteCool postcards! Wow, the gardens look incredible! Would look so much more amazing in real life. I can almost smell it from here. :)
ReplyDeleteI love those postcards. I wish they made things like this more commonly now a days.
