Very cool!

So do you have them planted along your paths, Dick? Trilliums are up around here already.

actually it's getting a little wild, from almost 3 years of neglect (store)
but i also like wild & exotic :-) other then the wild blackberry & English ivy :-(
2 acres of Ferns & Oxalis oregano ground cover with meandering foot paths amongst the Redwoods
with small alcoves of special plants
(Arisaema,Acer JM's,Farfugium,Fuchsia,Heuchera,Helleborus,Podophyllum,Trillium,& more)
i will post up some more images this spring
