Here is another round of container plantings! More great mixes of colors and textures. I like the way they use grasses, succulents and perennials together. In these pairings, I see the colors playing off each other in a wonderful, complex way. The grey-green of the yucca is lovely with the chalky purple of the echeveria. The sticks on fire orange is echoed by the carex, bringing your eye up and down to take in the whole. I'm told that Mike Brown is responsible for most of these creations.

| Love the Carex with the Euphorbia |

| Pitcher Plant and Dutchman's Pipe! A striking combination of strange forms! |
The last three are absolutely giant, probably 24" to 30" pots.
The containers in these plantings are all simple shapes in muted colors (except for one red pot). Their style is contemporary, but not too modern, simple and streamlined, and very traditional. They act as anchors to the plantings, not competing at all with the richness of the textures that spill over them and climb above them.
And here are some nice displays from the gift shop that I find charming and romantic.
