E Minnehaha Perennial Garden
Stone bed
Stone bridge
roses trailing over structure
grasses swooping=structure and movement; drought tolerant
love the kale and dill in the mix and the pink-purple-blue palette with red-orange-yellow? accents
enjoy the use of annuals to fill in between perennials
controlled, yet full; good use of gold foliage in with the green
love the mass of cleomes that give the eye a focal point in the design
beautiful mix of texture and color to soften a hardscaped area; airy
love the nasturtium border; love the feeling of abundance given by plants overflowing their bounds
nice framing
love the windows that define the space but frame the view beyond
love the silver-grey in among the purple alliums
spikey contrasts with flat, round flower heads; pastels with accents of vivid red
rhubarb foliage as a calming mass or focal point
love the informal stepping down of the retaining wall and the gentle curves
geometrically-shaped shrubs add order to the chaos
a mass of one kind of plant, like these ferns, always appeals to me, giving the eye a place to rest and suggesting abundance
i like the height and structure these tall foxgloves provide
roses trailing on a structure
love the lacy masses of ferns
a hidden nook to sit and enjoy
love how the leaning spikes soften the rigid lines of the walk and pillars
i like the non-plant focal point
the pot helps anchor the plantings, and its curves soften the harsher lines of the fence and path
love the effect of the bold iris-looking plant just to the left of the gate
cool mix of textures with echoes
love this! feels like the repetition of the climbing vine on either side of the window ties everything together
nice water feature
love the colors and shapes here!
must have purple and pink
Colored glass capturing light
