I'd love to just tag along and listen to your conversation ~ I'm sure I'd learn so much. Fairegarden is fabulous. I don't really remember seeing Frances' front yard much either.

On the enlarged photo of the front yard, is that Frances taking a shot from another vantage point? I couldn't tell for sure. This year, I bought that coreopsis. I'm going to see if it comes back next spring.

Her garden must be exquisite in person as it is so amazing in photos.
