And man, I can't believe I've become a person who has unironic pink flamingos in her yard. My aunt in Wisconsin sent them to me, and I was going to use them in the bare side yard where the trash bins usually go as a joke, and then I realized they matched the roses, stuck them in the ground, and LOVED the effect. Go figure.<br /><br />I enjoy how we gardeners are such a mutual admiration society! I was admiring Vicki Blachman's garden with a bunch of other blogging friends, and she said something like, "Can you tell how many ideas I've stolen from you guys?" And it's true! Seeing other people's creativity is really inspirational.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-27467611565855607652014-05-08T15:27:14.272-05:002014-05-08T15:27:14.272-05:00The plants were labeled in all the gardens which w...The plants were labeled in all the gardens which was quite helpful and saved a lot of time.Shirleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-91584236527663518952014-05-08T15:14:41.751-05:002014-05-08T15:14:41.751-05:00I second Louis's comment...and all the others....I second Louis's comment...and all the others.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08843132106213356234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-1572408496409095162014-05-08T10:40:58.125-05:002014-05-08T10:40:58.125-05:00Holy agave, batman!

I visited Lori's garden several days before the tour. She's always changing things up and I noticed some new features in your pictures. I love her placement of the flamingos. I think some pet pink flamingos are definitely in my future.

You must be the only blogger to have toured her garden for this tour who didn't take a picture of the pathway rattlesnake though. Did you see it? I have a feeling we'll be seeing THAT idea borrowed in local gardens soon.Pam/Digginghttp://www.penick.net/diggingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-77355378646735735492014-05-08T00:24:19.512-05:002014-05-08T00:24:19.512-05:00Thanks for sharing your tour, Shirley!

There are certainly some good ideas there, especially for someone like me who's currently on the look-out for more drought-tolerant plant selections. I'm impressed that Lori labeled her plants - my local botanic garden doesn't even do much of that!Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-729244618837596432014-05-07T21:52:54.278-05:002014-05-07T21:52:54.278-05:00This is a good tour of Lori's garden.
