Maybe it's his and my liking for yellow and orange flowers that sparked the comparison in your mind? Nevertheless, his design is such a wonderful idea for an English setting. It has that touch of Arizona to it, which is remarkable, given its setting.<br /><br />Urban Green: yep, I love succulents. I've blogged at length about them here:<br />http://gardenamateur.blogspot.com/2008/11/succulent-city-part-1.html<br />and here<br />http://gardenamateur.blogspot.com/2008/11/succulent-city-part-2.html<br />and a little bit more, here<br />http://gardenamateur.blogspot.com/2009/05/spruced-up.html<br /><br />So yes, I guess you could say I like succulents!

The book is lovely but the pix are online here http://www.flickr.com/photos/angusf/sets/656542/ - your garden much lusher than his strangely beautiful barren one, but I thought you might like to see it anyway.howtoshuckanoysterhttp://www.howtoshuckanoyster.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-87531432603348088662009-10-01T12:37:57.706+10:002009-10-01T12:37:57.706+10:00Such beautiful photos of the stages of the shallot...Such beautiful photos of the stages of the shallot flowering. Last year my leeks flowered (mainly because they weren't too successful with kind of skinny bases) but the flowers were lovely. I may just do the same with a few other things.Lanie https://www.blogger.com/profile/12752139198631821577noreply@blogger.com
