Lovely garden, Pirl. I saw Evison's Fleuri, which Zuzu mentioned, at the Chelsea flower show this year and was really struck by it. Haven't seen it available here anywhere, have you?. I took a picture, but it doesn't capture it, or at least not my memory of it. It's hard enough to capture those colors outside in natural lighting; indoors even harder I think. Anyway, here it is. To be honest, looking at it now I don't know why I went so nuts for it, but I did. Also, in full disclosure, I was truly gaga from seeing all those plants. Didn't have my wits about me.

By the way, Pirl, when someone in England says a plant needs sun or a south facing wall, it's good to remember that full sun in England is nothing like full sun here, or at least for me as we have hot summers (well, not this year, but most). I find that some plants that I consider shade plants here, are listed there as sun plants.
