The vertical interest is lovely in this area, and the natural elements are conducive to the design of the garden. <br />To the Gardener-in-Chief's handyman: You did a great job! I loved how you continued to consult with the Gardener-in-Chief (very important!) and that you read blogs in your spare time! You're actually a very lucky man - while reading about all those 24 hours rest periods, I realized I didn't let my handyman rest for that long! ;)HolleyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892421871044249940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-66617760423806409582013-11-10T08:28:12.428-06:002013-11-10T08:28:12.428-06:00Thanks Michael, the red flower is Gomphrena 'S...Thanks Michael, the red flower is Gomphrena 'Strawberry Fields'.
