Th...Love the pumpkin people. What a fun project.<br /><br />The King Tut looks nice planted in the ground. I have seen it used in containers where it is way too tall –flops over and looks like a big mess. <br /><br />What a great garden of mums and kale. I bet it looks spectacular when the mums are in flower!<br /><br />Interesting with the small grass in the middle of the beds. ..I may try this with one of the small grasses I just bought.<br /><br />Pennestium Jade Princess is gorgeous! I hope I can remember that one. <br /><br />Diana LaMarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324428666401187803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243579953985871041.post-83892446879544479802012-10-02T13:47:10.944-05:002012-10-02T13:47:10.944-05:00Delightful tour of Cantigny, Eileen!

Annuals really put on a show at this time of year, don't they? It is so impressive to see mass plantings of them.

My cat was with me and I think the hawk wanted to fly off with him. <br /><br />It's good to see what kinds of plants can handle adverse conditions and you nailed it with these photos. I can't believe that pink Begonia is in full sun. Is this another "bred for full sun" cultivar like the Sun Coleus? <br /><br />I believe the Tamarix flowers are actually a medium shell pink color. Unless there is a new red-flowering variety which is entirely possible. Plant breeders are doing amazing things these days. <br /><br />Have a great week.
