Thanks, Deb. I truly never appreciated the potential beauty of all the fabulous foliage plants until I started 'hanging out' with you Tropical Plant nuts on this thread! So you plant the sunflowers and let the MG's climb their stems? Sounds fun, I might try that next spring.

Walking iris bend their flower stems down to the ground after the flowers finish, and they root at the nodes, so they 'walk'. You really have to watch them here, they will walk a long ways! Here's my big clump of yellow ones walking out onto the walkway (left side of pic) . . . let us know if you want to try these, they're so easy! Small flowers, though.

What's that coral one in your last pic? Four o'clock? Very pretty.
