An update has been requested, here are a couple of photos. Not revealing too much now because I still plan to get around to writing an article (yeah!!). Photos were taken May 16.

Whole table, photo taken today. The area under is perfect for containers that need shade.


At least 5 different sedums I see in this photo...


See Rita Jane with her ridges. The center one will bloom soon.

This garden just gets better and better. Thanks Connie.

WOW Connie, so good looking after plants mature. What a thrill.

Thanks, Jo Ann! I have sure enjoyed creating this monstrosity!

cool--thanks for the update!
I will be looking forward to the article...trying to be patient...want to see more

I'm so busy now, the article will probably have to wait until winter (what I say every year).

Maybe you could do one or two of those awesome close up shots as multi-plant photos? They are spectacular. The entire table is a treasure of plants. I love it.

I can do that when I have more time. Having to look each one up in the data base puts me off. I'll try to get to it but real busy now. I will do the one with 5 sedums I guess...

Lynn has a good idea.
The multiplant is easy now that they have a auto select after a few letters.
Your photos are great.
Hope you can find time.

Jo Ann is right, the new system of auto select is so fast. You are going to love it Connie.

So how does it work?

Connie, Thanks for sharing your beautiful 'monstrosity' with us again; I have seen the table in person so I know it is beautiful...the monstrosity part must have happened later...

When you get to the tagging part you just drag your cursor to the size you want for your tag. When you do that it opens a box, start typing in the name of the plant, it pops up a list to choose from. Click on the one you want. Continue on with each plant until all are named.

I like that idea. I too have always loved this project and like to see more through the seasons.
Thanks for sharing it with us, Connie.

Connie, it looks spectacular! Looking forward to your article! I hadn't thought about how great it is for photographs- it makes it possible to get great angles of the plant groupings. Brilliant!

Your table garden is fantastic Connie! I bought the book a year ago and still haven't done anything on a "hard surface". Definitely need to do one. Yours is so inspiring!!

I couldn't help but notice today how pretty and colorful the Calluna vulgaris 'Wickwar Flame' was. Phedimus spurius 'Ruby Mantle' in the foreground.

Connie, Thanks for sharing that colorful plant with us.

I went and looked at Connie's table in person and it's looking quite beautiful with the different levels of plants courtesy of rock placement, interesting textures from the variety of plants displayed and the accent coloring sprinkled here and there from seasonal coloring of certain plants used. It has evolved to be quite special!

And to think I just tossed it all on there and let it do its thing!

Well you got a knack for that. Want to come over and toss a few things on a table for me?
