Thought I would post a few pics of our garden in mid summer. At the end of March last year most of the garden was under 3 inches of water with no grass down. So we had a blank canvas to play with. Hopefully this year with 80-100 Cannas idian shot,indica and mussiflora, about same with cactus dahlias, some Nicotiana Sylvestris, 4 o clocks, Amarath elephant head, Amaranthus caudalus, Cleome rose queen, Helianthus velvet Queen, Ricinus 3 types, Passion flower, Rodgersia all growing from seed and various other plants, I will hopefully have a nice display this year.

I really like your patio area . It`s nice that you have it coloured co ordinated . I really like the shade of green too . Can`t have blue in the garden at all myself , except for flowers. with me and my hubby it`s the other way around, I decide what happens in the garden but somehow he decided what is a good idea he! he!
