      Thanks, Jenny. If it "looks in balance", then it stays: if it looks "unbalanced", then it has to go or be changed. I really don't know anything about flowers or plants; I just like structure and native plants from the fields. An awful lot of the plants are from farmers' lands or the wood on the hill behind me. (I have permission from the landowner of the hill to use what I need.)

                Thank you for your nice comments, Mr. C, Lorraine, Fern & Bilbo. The camera makes it look better than it is, though. The garden is not big.

                          This is incredible - I can hardly believe the transformation! Your vision has been really impressive. Such a harmonious space, and so beautiful.

                          Delosperma Cooperi in rampant flowering mode. Needs full sun for the flowers to open fully.
