You need a "hair & make-up" crew accompanying you in the garden to take care of all those little details like dirt on the anemone faces, etc. When that happens, you'll know you've turned "pro!" ;-) <br />I'm so glad I bought the little blue-eyed grass after seeing it in your garden. What an exceptional columbine photo too. I forgot to post (again) on bloom day but don't lose hope. I'll remember again one of these months! There's just so much going on in the garden to talk about these days. and you have been a posting maniac! I am getting behind on reading so I'm off to catch up.
