Es sieht bereits jetzt im Januar schon klasse aus, auch wenn momentan nichts Weißes vorhanden ist, die atemberaubende Kulisse drumherum reicht völlig aus! Wenn ich dagegen jetzt in unseren Garten schaue, sehe ich nur tristes Braun...<br />Den Storchschnabel Biokovo habe ich auch, der ist toll!<br /><br />Ganz liebe Grüße, BärbelGartenfeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14111127446446449101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-87842635486336827482015-02-07T13:23:05.548-08:002015-02-07T13:23:05.548-08:00White flowers reflecting in the deep blue of the p...White flowers reflecting in the deep blue of the pool will be beautiful.

Have you thought of adding some sedums & saxifrage? They both deal with drought conditions and there are a lot of varieties that have white flowers. And with many saxifrage being low growing evergreens, they will be there all year around. I look forward to seeing how your border develops over the year.<br />Gwenfar's Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07326735419091325096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-62849291913477081932015-02-01T22:15:55.084-08:002015-02-01T22:15:55.084-08:00The geranium is so beautiful!

I also love your gazing ball, I have been looking for a plinth to place in my garden so I can make something similar but haven’t found the right looking one yet, it needs to be tall enough to tower over the plants so I will continue to search. <br /><br />I have been taking part in the EOMV meme for a while and I am also going to concentrate on one area this year, the new rose bed, but I will still make a movie each month as it is a good reminder for me of how the garden develops. It is rather fun looking at the movies I have from a few years back - so much has happened in the garden in such a short time. A garden is never finished!<br />Take care, Helene.HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-37587889446104902572015-02-01T12:03:41.006-08:002015-02-01T12:03:41.006-08:00Ton projet de couvrir la terre est une superbe ave...Ton projet de couvrir la terre est une superbe aventure que tu vas mener avec brio.

I share your feelings about the Lamb's Ear - mine looks horrible tight now and I'm seriously considering pulling it all out and replacing it with Helichrysum petiolare (dwarf licorice plant), which does very well (almost too well) in my garden but looks good year-round. I'm also trying Geranium 'Biokovo' in my garden in both shade and sun settings - I grew it my my old, shady garden, where it was a wonderful groundcover.

I like the idea of a white garden. It will be so beautiful when the roses are blooming. I look forward to your monthly reviews! I eventually got rid of our lamb's ear. It spread too quickly, and it tended to turn yellow and droopy in the heat and humidity of summer. I miss it, though! I loved it when new fresh, furry leaves appeared in spring.debsgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656883577922890561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-76713735272806976432015-02-01T08:21:32.605-08:002015-02-01T08:21:32.605-08:00Christina-I love your cycads and your garden is a ...Christina-I love your cycads and your garden is a wonderful sight during our very cold northeastern winter.
