This Fireplace is huge I kept looking to see if there was signs of maybe a house was in that area at one time but no signs of a house being there.
Diann those gardens are gorgeous. I have oriental lilies planted in with my hostas because my hosta garden is at my bedroom window for fragrance I planted the lilies and the fragrant hostas close to the bedroom window. That was why when I remodeled I put the Master bedroom on the the ground level.
The last house I had was all shade and I learned a lot of plants can grow and bloom with just 2 hours of light and filtered light. Some of them even bloom longer because they are not in the burning sun.
I am going to duplicate a design I saw in a White Flower Farm catalogue. They had Ostrich Ferns with Casablanca Oriental Lilies. I have a septic system and I want to do that over the leach field because I cannot plant anything with deep roots in that area and it is a part sun area.
