Why You Need to Know Dinky is Stinky


Aside from repetition- contrast- color- copied the window boxes are screaming one of my favorite Garden Design rules.
.
Dinky is Stinky.


At the entry way to this hotel, above/below, are begonias.


.
When I'm asked a question, and the answer is, 'Dinky is stinky", I know what comes next, widened eyes & complete epiphany.
.
The best gardens know, Dinky is Stinky.  A treat to come across a commercial garden getting their garden right.
.
Nothing dinky or stinky here, of course we stopped for a refreshing summer cocktail on a hot afternoon in the Great Smoky Mountains.

 Garden & Be Well,     XO Tara

Pics shot last weekend.  Gin, elderberry, cucumber, lime, sublime.
.
Those begonias !  Remember well, a tiny era during the 80's when interesting begonias were easy to find.  Those days, long gone.
.
Collateral information, if you can count the number of flowers, you don't have enough.
