Re: Do You Suffer from One-of-Each-itis?

I most definitely suffer from this plant disease but it's with good intention. Being in Texas, sometimes, some plants healthier than others. So when one goes out, I have another as a backup. Also, I end up most of the time giving plenty away. Someone always wants a piece of this or that from my garden. They can't help themselves.

It's a tropical paradise.

BG, I'd have to say, I'm both the collector and arranger, being a landscaper and all. I most definitely create combinations into vignettes. 'Cause that's what makes a garden the most intriguing, colors, forms and textures. I think it just gives us avid gardeners more of reason to spend time in our gardens. Is that so bad?
