  1. Who says you need flowers to "create interest" in a garden?

  2. no, you don't need flowers! Your photos are amazing. Love the textures and shapes of those foliages! I think over the time, I am learning to appreciate the benefit of the foliages more and more. Even when most of the bloomings quit in the winter, the foliages are still standing there to add the constant color and interests into the garden. Thank you for the beautiful post.

  3. I need a cherry coke badly!!! Love the striped bamboo. I've seen the costus before, but that photography really does it justice! Beautiful!

  7. Don't tropicals remind you of great modern art? Probably why I have an affinity for both.
