Polygonum is a really invasive groundcover. I'm a little sorry I planted it now, but at least I know that living in the city as we do, there's a limit to where even this plant can go (we're surrounded by large expanses of concrete on all four sides). Here you can see its tiny pink flower globes, alongside the stunning colors of oxalis siliquosa. The leaves at the LH top are a Melianthus major, and the statue is an inexpensive resin Kirin, or Japanese dragon-horse.
