Funny, happy!

More crazed than adorable, Donna. Just spent another two hours on Scheepers site this time but not writing out an order. Just making up an imaginary order to see if it matches the now non-existent Van Engelen's order. I'm including where each cultivar would be placed, if the bloom time is right for each area, same with height, then creating collages for each one. It's similar to the old carpenter's rule of "Measure twice, cut once".

So far, this is the best I've done with A. Silver Spring and A. Rosenbachianum with clematis Jackmanii. I like it but don't love it. I had hoped to put caladiums at the base of the Jackmanii to hide the bare leg syndrome. They would continue until frost.

Now it's time to go out and see if the spaces I have are realistic for what I want to order. I wonder if Magellan spent a lot of time deciding what clothes to bring on his trip...
