I fit together the plants I like the best I can. I do like the gray-and-green color palette best. <BR/><BR/>Christopher, Lupinus regalis is an eastern native, hardy down to zone 4.

I thought it was the least likely to, after reading people's troubles with them.<BR/><BR/>I need me some perennial Lupines. The Texas Bluebonnets I have going are annuals.

Nan Ondra's book 'Foliage' has so many ideas, I highly recommend it for some great ideas on that subject. Any how would we know what marijuana looks like? ;-> I love the echium's form.<BR/>FrancesFrances,https://www.blogger.com/profile/03616568389165362993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8759330860236504280.post-72126573710554752692008-03-30T18:56:00.000-07:002008-03-30T18:56:00.000-07:00Lisa, if you ever make it out to California...Bren...Lisa, if you ever make it out to California...<BR/><BR/>Brent, but you had Allen Chickering flowers last month!

The tags make the unfamiliar plants much easier to identify. <BR/><BR/>Your garden seems farther along in the bloom cycle than mine, even though you live in the reputed fog capital of California: My Tidytips seem about a week behind yours, and my Salvia Spathacea is even further behind.<BR/><BR/>One plant that seemed a bit incongruous was the bamboo.Brenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11450393891493020636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8759330860236504280.post-35686442123727043042008-03-30T08:21:00.000-07:002008-03-30T08:21:00.000-07:00It all looks enticing, whether viewed from above o...It all looks enticing, whether viewed from above or within.
