I think that is one of the most challenging things about this profession- designing something that will look great upon completion and even better over the years. Most of the 'professional designs' I've seen are things that will look great immediately and for the next 5-10 years before the failing begins.<BR/><BR/>I've only got 2 years worth of designs under my belt to go back and review. I can only hope I will be as satisfied with their appearance in 15 years as I was initially. <BR/><BR/>We can all be so critical of our own work. You've learned A LOT over the years. Do you look back on your earlier work and think about what you'd do differently now? I wonder if I will- probably!Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15300459671364768442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-879533546985256779.post-64592327382591313792009-02-08T20:13:00.000-08:002009-02-08T20:13:00.000-08:00Ohhh myyyy!

I'm not gonna lie, I have dedicated soo much of my time and devotion to make sure that they come out just right... I am planning on growing my own exotic plants in a green house environment that I am almost done building for them, but soon it will be the new talk of my town without a doubt. I love plants and I believe that if the people in this world each individually just added one plant of their choice, this planet would most definitely be a more beautiful place! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-879533546985256779.post-91598203614757751492009-02-03T22:23:00.000-08:002009-02-03T22:23:00.000-08:00They were native Rhodo's Rhododendron occidentalis...They were native Rhodo's <BR/>Rhododendron occidentalis.<BR/>They grow in the oak understoryDeviant Deziner, aka Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10469269749640113223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-879533546985256779.post-17641031697562547052009-02-03T20:23:00.000-08:002009-02-03T20:23:00.000-08:00Very lovely.
