So much to show, so little time to show it :-( Say, could your heucherella be 'Alabama Sunrise' instead of 'Golden Zebra'? Dallas Arboretum plant trials have great things to say about Alabama Sunrise, which is what yours looks like. Internet pics show Golden Zebra to have much more maroon color in center. Love that honey of an Oakleaf Hyndrangea!!! Have not seen that up this direction anywhere. I wonder if it is a little cold tender in DFW area. Best wishes on the tour! It is such a blessing to share your garden and your labor of love, and I'm sure all your visitors will be in for a treat! I hope you enjoy the day.Toni - Signature Gardenshttp://signaturegardens.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-8547960002096365412012-04-17T22:06:11.888-04:002012-04-17T22:06:11.888-04:00The Cotinus images are very good Les.

I know there will always be beautiful things to look at and this post is no exception. My favourite shot has to be the Smokebush flower. The light and mix of colors in that shot are exquisite. As far as plants go, there are many interesting ones in your post. The Robinia pseudoacacia ‘Frisia’ - Frisia Black Locust caught my eye. Love the combination of the yellow iris and the heucherella! Good luck with the tour. They are going to love your garden!!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-47088588583958690342012-04-16T23:28:10.282-04:002012-04-16T23:28:10.282-04:00If there was a way to freeze time in a garden, it ...If there was a way to freeze time in a garden, it should be done now.
