The best display I've seen of Mexican Fleabane was climbing to the top of the village Saint Jean Pied-de-Port along the narrow paths with tall stone walls either side. A living wall before there was a fad of such things. It was stunning, (like your glorious photographs).

This year I combined the white/green variation 'wilhelm langguth' with a light pink variety (of course, the one year I didn't keep the tags). The combination is sublime. I look forward to one day visiting your git. You have opened the door to an intense interest in visiting that part of France.

I just came home from the nursery with more blue stuff today - blue star junipers, more walker's low nepeta (I think it's really a better plant than 6 hills giant - started blooming several weeks earlier and continues looking good while 6 hills is already petering out), some light blue-violet delphiniums, and hidcote lavender. And I think I need some of those blue alliums. Come visit my blog and see my blue siberian iris post - the colors are fabulous.VWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17539135776275337661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-357865578794109155.post-78048655098019608772009-07-07T21:09:15.467+02:002009-07-07T21:09:15.467+02:00Rob I love all your pots but especially the Japane...Rob I love all your pots but especially the Japanese blood grass never heard of that before.<br /><br />Photos great too.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905137222286141548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-357865578794109155.post-9196175163423380682009-07-07T18:44:12.370+02:002009-07-07T18:44:12.370+02:00I love blue in the garden as well.

I love the Pelargoniums delicate flowers in those aged terra cotta against your background wall and sitting upon the old stone ... all the textures and colors are stunning! The Verbena is lovely with the white crushed stone and the lush green hill in the background. Your fan flower is so stately in your gorgeous urn! I have never seen one so elegantly presented and it was so clever to have your Shakespeare compliment your table cloth! Wow!

The nearly black and white image with the barely colored terra cotta pot was mesmerizing. Your pots of pelargonums are lovely, that is a flower I am normally not drawn to either, but there is something about those. The blood grass is a handsome brute. It does very well here in a trough, old wheelbarrow and window box, wintering over from year to year.<br />FrancesFranceshttp://fairegarden.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-357865578794109155.post-42982881171103877632009-07-06T22:09:18.055+02:002009-07-06T22:09:18.055+02:00Lovely!
