You have so many plants I would like to try but assumed they would fail, according to the experts. So much for experts--go with what a fellow gardener says!<BR/>AiyanaAiyanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04525758484165324330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3229746686941298595.post-82429700395252645962008-10-12T11:25:00.000-07:002008-10-12T11:25:00.000-07:00Beauuuutiful!

I'm not sure if living this far north makes us sheep or goat, but we are definitely not getting any more flowers, and the ones we still do have will not last much longer. this weekend we're having a unexpected warm spell, will be almost 80/23 degrees, bu it won't be long before a killing frost. Your garden looks just wonderful, love the 'distance' shot with a bit of the curved walkway.

I love it when people do that (leaving a note, I mean ) because I get to see so many new gardens when I follow them.<BR/>I'm a bit confused. Arizona is desert-land, am I right? Then how come you have so many tropical plants blooming their heads off for you?

Since balloon flowers come up extra late in the spring, I thought they would hide the phlox foliage once it was done flowering. I looked for some to add to my garden, but there were none left in the fall in my area. I'll have to be quicker next year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
