Hard to believe anything could overtake and kill a hosta but I see your goutweed just about managed it. What a plant! - signed, a hater (but mostly of the green kind)

someone here was wanting one of those 'unfitted' kitchens... an 'old world' look I think she was aiming for. I agree on the kitchens in mags vs those here. my sister often says I spend too much time on here (well being new I've been looking at all the old threads too!) and my thinking is I'm saving a ton of money by looking here and not buying mags - they don't give the input you get here either! I don't have a dh to bonce ideas off of, can't afford a KD and am very slow at making decisions - so starting months in advance to figure all this stuff out doesn't seem a waste of time to me! kitchens here are much more 'real' than those in the mags.

Very nice modern look to it :)

I always enjoy the backdrop in many of your photos of that cool blue water pool and fountains; and the radiant gleam of Bill Norris in front of it makes for a dazzling photo. I love the photo of Navajo Pony since mine came late last year and didn't bloom. I am very much anticipating it looking so grand. Rose Masterpiece is aptly named and Gimmee is giving & giving this year. I got Stealth Bomber from Debra in a trade this year so I enjoyed seeing yours. And I really like Graphic Art! That one is very eyecatching. As always, a beautiful bounty and so enjoyable.
