I love the cabbage with the echinops and that caption was so apt! It is raining and I hope you didn't see a tornado as Bristol was mentioned on the news! <em>Thanks, Layanee! Plenty of rain - over an inch here yesterday and another drenching as I write - but no tornadoes (knock wood) at Blithewold. -kris</em> Great pictures and post Kris.

(And Brendan's comment, too--very fun.) I found myself grooving to the phormium/plectranthus combination, and then realized that you had labeled it "Alt Rock"... that fits both the combo and me. *grin* By the way, you just dated yourself to be... about the same age as I am. lol. We used to make multiple mix tapes for people, and sometimes would send them to our college friends while we were all apart over the summer. And of course you had to hand-decorate the paper cassette liner--just writing down the songs was not quite enough! <em>Too funny, Kim! I think this blog must be my cassette liner... -kris</em> I LOVE this post! (And Brendan’s comment, too–very fun.)

(insert dorky laugh). <em>Thigh slap PLUS snorthonk ! -kris </em> your caption writing ability is second to none. you should come up with band names in bulk and sell them to young kids that can’t come up with any sweet names of their own. today i was all about grunge rock… pruning underneath the holly and may flowering viburnum. i also got into some folk rock jam action while “dead heading” the laurel. the next bloom is TOTALLY gonna rock! garage bands are for tools.

Engaging and soothing---just like good music. I've never thought about my garden in those terms, so this was fun. <em>Pam, My thoughts do run away with me while I'm watering - glad you liked where they went! -kris</em> I really like that last number too.

Soft pink flowering sedum and liatris flowering right next to a very bold and bright clump of yellow and red gaillardia. They're all so happy there and growing so well that I hate to move any of them, so for now I'm living with the clash. <em>Amy, Color-wise, your combo totally works for me (but then I never match my socks to my shirt and think orange goes with everything). I also love that they are happy in a garden bed that you never water! Maybe you could add a horn section to that trio or some backup singers to carry the tune... Am I going too far with this metaphor? -kris</em> I’ve got a real clash/clunker in my latest post.
