The smell of a total environment — forest, seashore, etc. — is pretty hard to replicate, but incorporating just a few of those fragrances can really make a garden special.Jocelyn H.

I also remember seeing certain plants in Denver, then different plants in other, different places we'd travel...telling me "I'm not home anymore"...the yuccas, or trees flowering in mid-March in Abq, all come to mind...that's before I got into plants.Desert Dwellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00952727692048782529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33725246.post-52708996998535262782012-11-27T18:45:55.094-07:002012-11-27T18:45:55.094-07:00Susan, you are so right --- we can be as indulgent...Susan, you are so right --- we can be as indulgent as we (or our clients) wish --- it's "artistic licence" and completely legit!<br /><br />Andrew, I would bet that Linus and Lucy scene to win against any other comic bit any time, any where.

Doctors, vets and the like must practice compassionately, but also have to develop a thick skin and avoid sentimentality or they'll go crazy. Thank goodness we garden designers can wallow in our emotions and become attached to the plants, yet still be effective at our jobs!susan morrisonhttp://www.blueplanetgardenblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33725246.post-49451187807208089712012-11-27T14:46:46.663-07:002012-11-27T14:46:46.663-07:00Thanks, Thomas.

Crabapples (such a dreadful name for such heavenly trees) are transcendent: I have hundreds of memories they evoke...there was a spot between two crabapples in the park next to my house where a red admiral butterfly would come wheeling and dancing and reeling every year of my childhood. I still go down to that spot (the crabapples are still there 55 years later) and I occasionally still find the butterfly there. My moments there with the red admiral are among my very sweetest memories, all the more so because they recur--hopefully forever.Panayoti Kelaidishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846898350006673316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33725246.post-71019917827053831142012-11-27T12:34:50.175-07:002012-11-27T12:34:50.175-07:00Your comment about the tree peony from your friend...Your comment about the tree peony from your friend struck a chord in me. I have a few plants in my garden that were giveaways from friends and clients, and I find they are some of the plants I am most attached to. I have a tiny paw paw sapling that a client gave me, and it is struggling in my yard. I can't bring myself to rip it out, though, because the client's original tree was grown from seed by her late husband. She told me about how they collected the seed from trees on the C&O canal when they were very young. When a plant has a story like that, I don't dare rip it out!3Mary Grayhttp://www.blackwalnutdispatch.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33725246.post-4821179757378445342012-11-27T09:05:37.056-07:002012-11-27T09:05:37.056-07:00"The heart wants what the heart wants." ..."The heart wants what the heart wants." That's probably the best summary of why I select the random plants I end up selecting. I try to pretend my choices are logical, but it's really just love, isn't it?
