I do find it a bit jarring psychically to see a blooming Azalea next to an Oakleaf Hydrangea in full autumnal tints. <br />Your recycled concrete patio & steps look wonderful. I hadn't thought of using some of the concrete chunks I've dug out of my garden as steps, but I could use some. Thanks for the idea. We still haven't hauled away the concrete we dug up this summer, although I've used lots of it for retaining walls.Mr. McGregor's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911409327006498766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012891747188380656.post-8236079345077307652009-11-23T09:10:03.721-08:002009-11-23T09:10:03.721-08:00Hi, my name is Lily!

My gardens look brown and bedraggled now, except for the sasanquas and camellias, and our oak trees still have thousands (millions?) of leaves to drop. Here in Piedmont NC we haven't had a hard frost either, and we aren't expecting one until Dec. 1. <br /><br />Your cast iron plant is stunning. How long have you had it? I planted a couple 2 years ago, and they look nothing like that.C.

The plantings by the driveway are so well thought out, large shrubs and small trees with textural interest in the foliage. Excellent.
