A Surprise Match

Pow.  They matched the trailing plant to the gravel, genius, then color echoed flowers with foliage.

Pow.  I stopped in my tracks at this pot.  Genius.  (And began talking with the pot/plants/gravel.)

Does anyone else have conversations with gardeners who aren't present?

    Just saw this at Ball Horticultural Gardens spilling over a stone wall stunning! I am definitely going to use Dicondra next year in a container. I have seen it in the nurseries but always passed it up.

    Stunning! I like not only what you say, about how integrated everything is, or my usual thing for boldness. I like the tropical effect the scene evokes, with the container plants driving it in.

    What is that plant that is trailing down the sides? I love this look and use creeping jenny in this manner but sure could use some other things that do this too.

    Beautiful! I love the grassy-fountainy thing on top!

    Is the trailing plant dichondra?
