Barry, interviewing you and touring your garden (how many times were we distracted from my set of questions by a one plant or another??) was a great pleasure. Thanks so much for helping to make my "job" so enjoyable!

Well, judge for yourself. I'm showing here an arrangement of plants at my front door, which I find very pleasing, A cooling vignette in the last few days of a very hot summer. Plants at my front door. Durantia, Angelonia 'Purple Stripe' and purple Callibrachoa. Coleus 'Fishnet Stockings...
