I asked the home owner for his ideas on why the thyralis plants along my driveway wilt every afternoon and his were standing up to the full sun. We decided it was because his were in deep pockets of soil that the boulders afforded and were watered with sprinklers rather than drip as mine are. This tells me it's not that the plant can't take full sun, but that I need to do some work with mine. I was ready to remove them. This is one of the values of seeing other's gardens.<br /><br />I loved how they skirted winter jasmine. It looked like the bouffant skirts of a southern belle. Another great idea that can be put to use.<br /><br />Shirley, thanks for putting these garden visits together so well. I guess just about my favorite subject for blogs is garden tours.<br /><br />RagnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-56529237078148089142012-09-28T09:57:47.619-05:002012-09-28T09:57:47.619-05:00What a diverse collection of styles you are showin...What a diverse collection of styles you are showing us on this tour.
