I wish I had more share but I am pretty much all full sun here on Lake Michigan. There is something soothing about shade for me that the bright sun misses. But on the other hand, I get lots of blooms with all the sun at Gardens at Waters East. So it might be true as they say, "we always want what we don't have". Hope to visit again.

Pieris 'Flaming Silver'...Thanks Christine. Pieris 'Flaming Silver' is painfully slow growing - about 15cm a year. When I first put it in I had visions of growing the bright scarlet climber Tropaeolum speciosum through it as I'd seen that exact combination in a local garden. 12 years on and it's still not big enough - although the smaller creeping geranium 'Salome' annually weaves it's way through the Pieris. I'll illustrate that on Friday.Trainer Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00777701301974490461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8219483201777307292.post-70489818120479508432011-07-13T18:04:01.665+01:002011-07-13T18:04:01.665+01:00I LOVE this part of your garden - especially the v...I LOVE this part of your garden - especially the view shown in the last 2 photos. I love the form, colour and texture combination. This is the sort of thing my little fledgling garden aspires to! Wonderful.

The variegated plants are Pieris 'Flaming Silver' and the Phormium.
