I hadn’t thought of my plant updates as reminders but you’re right, they work that way too.

Sarah Raven (in England) grows some truly beautiful ones from seed that I don’t see around here – not even the seed the last time I looked a few years ago. The colors were all deep, saturated and totally luscious.

Wallflowers are so much fun! And some of them even smell lovely. They make me smile, too… especially the orange ones.

Thank you for the reminder. I have this on my short list to fill a spost when I plant in the fall.

This is great; I had no idea it existed. I really appreciate the information and I will plan a trip.

Your plant pairing is gorgeous. I have a rock wall and have planted rosemary so adding some basket-of-gold in spots would be ideal. Thank you for the suggestion….great picture, no caption was really all that necessary.

I really enjoyed your articel and the photos are great. I found that I really love evergreens after a visit to Kubota Garden. It was an amazing lesson in the use of evergreens to creat contrast.
