Very cool. I particularly like the picture of the harvest. I wish I had a garden like yours. One day...

Pow wow, your flowers are beautiful & well arranged. I like the way you blend the colors of different plants. I am striving to be able to do the same.

Thank you both. I'm sure your flower gardens are wonderful as well. In my case, my flower beds look best at a distance.

What stunning color and healthy lush plants! What varieties of sedum are pictured? All of my sedum varieties bloom yellow so I would love to get some pink blooming varieties like yours! Thanks for sharing your beautiful garden!

Thanks pinksand,
I'm sorry, I wish I could tell you what varieties of sedums I have but I have no Idea. My sister gave me a bowl with all those in it, for a birthday present this year. There were no tags for them.

I'll just have to keep an eye out for some I do have the gray/blue variety and am guessing it's Sedum reflexum 'Blue Spruce.' You may have already known that one though.

Beautiful! You have a natural "eye" for color combinations, scale, use of artifacts and overall design. You should go into the landscaping business. How about plant decorating? IDK about your area but I had many landscape clients who also had patios and decks that they wanted decorated seasonally with container plants and artifacts. That was much less labor intensive, had a high profit margin, a guaranteed job at least quarterly, some of the bigger clients wanted changes 6 time per year, and a whole lot of fun. You are a natural! Great job!

Thanks ElizabethB,
Actually I do run a little gardening business. I grow all my plants from seed which I sell in the spring. It's a very small business but growing a bit each year. Last spring I sold all my plants and had to actually go to the garden center to buy some plants for myself. I have several customers who have me supply their plants and do up their balconies downtown and a few who have me do their flower beds and pots. I enjoy it greatly.
