- Blogging about gardens, travel, and the cosmos. Basically,I'm a home gardener who's gone round the bend. I became interested in plants more than 20 years ago, during extended travels in tropical South America and Southeast Asia. Some of the tropical plants seen during those journeys, along with hundreds of other plants from all parts of the world, now grow in my ever-expanding garden. I’m a former newspaper photographer, travel writer and was managing editor at Fine Gardening magazine. I now design, write about, and photograph gardens. I give lectures about them too.

Terrific combination of texture and colour, really like it.
That is a delicious combination
Wow!! I love it. I got to hang around here a bit--you have a great blog. I guess so too cause you have so much experience. This container with the coleus is just fantastic.
Zoe--I like it because it's such minimal color-both plants are about the same, but maximized texture and shape. And it looks great for months. You don't need flowers to make a great garden scene.
Philip-Very tasty indeed, thanks. Wish I thought of it.
Hi Flowergardengirl--Welcome, and hang out all you want. That's why it's here.
I couldn't agree more about the Fab Foliage. What a stunning photo. But then again, can't thank Blotanical enough for showing me the way to your fab blog. Compliments!
Simply Stunning!
First time here...enjoying the photos thoroughly, great blog!
oh gasp -- great shot...awesome color.
Viooltje, IF, and Rochelle--thanks so much! Wish I could take credit for more than the photo, but the Wave Hill garden maestros did the heavy lifting on this one.
