Plant collector or garden designer?

With good reason. He was a blessing.

St. Peter??

Well, almost.

Ah Peter. He was worthy of a photo with you. I remember that!

This is a hill of purple coneflowers west of town. Quite a collector eh?

Looks like all of the same variety. Maybe someone is out to make it as lovely as the bluebonnets are in Texas and the Lupine Festival fields in New Hampshire:

Yes, all the same. All these years, nothing, and then, there they were. It's impressive, but hard to get a good picture since it's on a hill.

I love lupines. My neighbor always has some and I enjoy hers.

The sweet rocket makes me wish I had mine back. It makes a beautiful early spring show here.

My Siberian Iris binge. They all had to be blue.

They look beautiful together as Siberians do. So do Japanese irises: they play well with others.

Victor - how much spread on that Miscanthus? I neglected to mention that mine was about 4' in diameter; hence, the high Microbrew potential.

This thread is getting long, Victor.

Mine is about the same, Katye. New thread - please bring your designs and collections here:
