Rutledge House on a Spring Evening

Walked past the John Rutledge house the other evening and had to tarry awhile to make the pictures of the pretty flowers.

The ornamental iron work is so elegant, and there is a curved staircase on both sides of the piazza.

There is a teensy skinny space in between that front fencing and the front of the house. Someone has to squeeze and shimmy in between there to plant these pretty flowers. Barely room to turn around.

so from the street it looks like this:

Is that purple flower gorgeous or what!?
