A couple more patio pix...

I mixed dahlia's with my sparkler geraniums in the first picture, and in the second one I copied a planter I saw while visiting V last week. She lives in a historic old town, they do wonderful gardens, and they had this huge geranium mixed with swedish ivy. It had obviously wintered in the greenhouse, and it was spectacular, so I just had to try it. The little white plants in front are white bacopas...

Click to enlarge this picture, the dahlias are so pretty...
