Perfect partners #1


Ophiopogon planiscapus 'Nigrescens', Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola' and Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Silver Magic', spotted at Wisley on a frosty day.

(By way of explanation: We've been set an assignment for the Plant Design course I'm doing at Capel Manor to compile lots of plant combinations that we particularly like, so since it's going to take me all year to do, I thought I'd share them as I go along.)

always happy to help Gary :D

and glad you like it Emma (and when are you going to tell us what it is with the budgie?)

don't start me VP... as well as this scrapbook I'm currently working on a series of 10 plant combinations of 5 plants each, to provide year-round colour. And I've got to draw elevations of every one of them. By Jan 6th.

owwwww......

Arrrrrgggggghhhhhh :(

I've got to draw them too. No photos allowed...

However, I don't have a deadline like yours! Is Christmas happening for you this year then?
