But today I actually had to scroll all the way down to the Japanese Forest Grass before I found something I don’t already have in my garden….I think we have quite similar taste in plants :-) <br />Would love to add Hakonechloa macra for my Japanese inspired bed, I already had it on my wish-list, I hope it will be happy in a large container as nothing can be planted in the ground in that bed. Would also like to add a couple of pines in containers but I am still dithering about which ones to choose – they need to look spectacular, with nice colours and amazing cones, no more than 3-4 ft after 15-20 years. A tall order :-)<br />Thanks for the stroll in your lovely garden, as always I enjoyed seeing your weeping acers more than anything else, they are stunning!HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239416285826090692.post-919126817792141802016-05-17T04:43:57.323-04:002016-05-17T04:43:57.323-04:00I did enjoy the stroll through your garden - thank...I did enjoy the stroll through your garden - thank you! I particularly love the Salvia - and the rain on the Hemerocallis foliage is delightful! Our Hemerocallis foliage has got stumpy ends - the rabbits nibbled off all the points.
