It's Green Thumb Sunday and I just got to visit a garden I started designing just before Christmas. The sun has been out and these two gems are having a grand time of it.
The intent of the combination was not unlike other compositions I try to create balancing subtle contrast and harmony. In this case, the delicate vertical wands blend together, while the lavender flowers and ivory blooms provide the contrast. Lavandula 'Provence' (my favorite Lavender) and a California native perennial, Heuchera maxima (Island Alum Root) do the trick. There are more shots of this garden at my Flickr site. Look to the sidebar to the right for a link to my photos.
Happy Sunday. If spring hasn't hit where you live, trust that it's on the way.
