Mom was feeling up for a run to a few nurseries this morning. It breaks our hearts that she lives in an world of incredible pain everyday, so when she says she's ready, it's go time! I'm so happy to be back in gardening mode while prepping for the move. We bought two hydrangeas at Rosebank Farms and then stopped by Garden Wise where we bought a gorgeous variegated hosta and a Farfugium japonicum 'Giganteum', aka the Giant Leopard Plant. The giant waxy leaves look like a tractor seat. They produce a stalk with yellow daisy-like flowers in the fall.
I follow a blog called 'Garden Porn' that is maintained by Michelle Derviss, who is a landscape designer. These are photos of the 'Pina Colada Garden' in Novato, CA. I believe this is her actual garden. It's about as close to my dream garden as it's going to get. I apologize in advance for the large file weight of the images, but I couldn't just pick a few. I had a very difficult time narrowing it down to just these...
