I took a tour of Charleston, South Carolina, gardens several years ago, and amidst all the gorgeous, timeless gardens I saw, this scene may have captivated me most. It brings to mind warm, gentle breezes blowing through the curtains and lazy, sunny mornings. I also love the mix of this stately old home and the rustic arbor over the second-floor doorways.

Welcome to the Fine Gardening GARDEN PHOTO OF THE DAY blog! Every weekday we post a new photo of a great garden, a spectacular plant, a stunning plant combination, or any number of other subjects. Think of it as your morning jolt of green.

Sign up to get new posts delivered to your inbox each morning so you'll always remember to take a look, or subscribe to our RSS feed. We look forward to sharing our garden travels with you.

If you think you have a photo that we should share on the Garden Photo of the day, email us. Send hi-res images to mgervais@taunton.com with GPOD in the subject line. We'll only respond if we plan to use your photo.

FAWNANNETTE writes: Love the idea of an second story balcony with an arbor plus a wall trellis. The double French doors onto the balcony must mean that this is a cherished outdoor space for the household. The balcony garden provides beauty and interest. The balcony railing is a protection for small children when those doors are open to breezes. Your title 'A garden in the treetops' is perfect. :-) Posted: 8:30 am on October 15th
