I thought of lifting the phrase myself. <br /> <br />Yes we're fickle but if a certain plant doesn't thrive, there are a bajillion more that will.

I love that there are other people out there who, in a moment of bravado, march into a garden, knock on the door and pray that they are greeted with another friendly gardener and not the resident Doberman! It has afforded me not only my 'Botanical Trespassing' segment, but I have gained so many new and wonderful gardening friends. <br /><br />This is another wonderful garden, and whilst I am not familiar with many of the plants, being the frigid Zone 5 gardener that I am, its always a thrill to meet new plants that may become future Zonal Denial challenges. I did contemplate adding Lycesteria formosa - went so far as to bring in ten pots at the nursery to see if I was the only one brave enough, but sadly the plants haven't done so well and I, well, I sort of fell out of love with it! Fickle damned bunch aren't we?Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11734807639763465706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-51264652273597132322012-07-26T09:39:15.770-07:002012-07-26T09:39:15.770-07:00That's a really beautiful garden.

Hopefully, in the winter when I usually don't spend much time in the garden, the blog will encourage me to get out there and appreciate what's going on. <br /><br />The Rhodocoma capensis debate is difficult - This spring at Cistus I talked my friend's ear off trying to decide. Can I spend this much on what may be an expensive annual? Every time when one dies or looks particularly ugly, I swear not to get another one but then they flutter that beautiful foliage at me in such a seductive way. So I'll have to work until I die...outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-32616799195881489492012-07-26T09:07:59.254-07:002012-07-26T09:07:59.254-07:00Have I mentioned how glad I am that you started yo...Have I mentioned how glad I am that you started your blog? THANK YOU! I love this. Not only did you do some nice garden spying but you just marched right up to the door. I wish I were as brave as you. Really.<br /><br />Beautiful garden, so many cool plants.
