I am loving all these green and white zinnias. Added here a few hosta leaves and the passion flower vine.
Check out the BoS garden blog here. Lots more pictures with names of the plants used and other great gardening information. I can't wait to try a little slice of this in our front yard next year. Now how am I going to remember to do that?
This is the flower bed at my bank. But I have to warn you, these pictures may trigger an urge to rip out 90% of your perennials and replace them with hundreds of glorious annual foliages!
Here's the winning floral design from the On My Own Time exhibit. The designer is Kathrn Mahaffey. Very pretty.
I took this vase to work yesterday, and my office smells so good! I love hosta blooms when they are just beginning. They don't stay pretty on the plant very long, so cutting them for a vase makes sense. Much more fun than cutting old ratty flower stalks off the plant later.
Canna blooms aren't my favorite--the foliage is the real star with cannas. The blooms don't last long, but I caught this one at just the perfect moment.
