Just hate that. She really does experiment with colorful things, and I must say in a way you don't see in your "average" garden publication. Love her playfulness with color and form. What a great gift to be able to visit and see her garden. Keeping this page bookmarked for future reference! Any good shade ideas from her place? I've got too much shade in my new house and am having to learn how to get color in the shade. Even getting variations of green from something other than hostas would be nice to know. I've got a lot to learn about shade!
