    I love your leaf lady, with the shovel and the sunglasses! That is the coolest topiary ever.

    It's looking great. Wish I'd seen it in person. The ceramics and the plant lady are terrific.

    Oh where do I begin! That succulent arrangement on the post in the last picture is so artsy, I love it! And your addiction to succulents has certainly pushed your vinettes to new hieghts. the water feature is charming and the pitchures look great in the pond behind the bowl. Love the way old man Atlas swoops down to meet the water. BB is looking really nice. How do you keep her head dress alive? and finally, gush, gush, gush, I must have that torquoise and chartreuse Pot head. Wish I could have been there, see you tihs summer...

    What a delight to see the Pina Colada garden again! You have so many intriguing vignettes -- I'd never get through your garden without stopping to examine each one. Your topiary gardener is so much fun too!

    I'm in love with the blue head, it's my favorite pic !
    Your agave attenuata is terrific too !

    There is something so beautiful about cobalt blue containers in a garden, and I loved the ceramic head planters, and sculptural theme! There were some very talented gardeners behind those pictures.

    HiI really love this site I regularly check it out.
    I would love to know about any local group tours in San Fran and LA when I come over (from Sydney) in April 2012.

    Franizon,
    I'm hosting a garden group from Australia in 2012 via Alice's traveling blog " Tendrils".

    Maybe she has some room ?
