I really like how Alan incorporated found objects and other ornaments among his cacti and succulents…

Fern, I would never mislead you, those Iris reticulata that are blooming on my blog, have been forced. The green houses are shipping them out for sale right now. They are my absolute favorite spring bulb.

I get a little tired of shooting sticks with raindrops all winter. Remember how envious I was last fall when I realized that you could grow all winter. LOL.

sharon February 8, 2009 at 10:07 am: I’ve never seen empty terra-cotta pots used so effectively. So simple; so appealing.
Fern February 8, 2009 at 1:42 pm: Jen — LOL! Glad to know you’re an honest gardener.

Nancy — And from the look of it, you could easily create a similar look with a few nails and pieces of wood.

Sharon — I agree!
prue February 8, 2009 at 1:57 pm: very cool. It makes the eye keep moving to take in all the wonderous shapes – proper garden art is the most simple!
Julie February 8, 2009 at 7:43 pm: This is really nice! Love the clean lines and peacefullness in the area!
MrBrownThumb February 8, 2009 at 9:14 pm: That looks really cool. Although, I just don’t have the neat gene needed to keep something looking so tidy.
