Another cool shot from Darcy Daniels’ garden in Portland, Oregon, this time of a pretty piece of driftwood used as a container of sorts for succulents, an itty bitty fern, and a miniature hosta. So cute, and perfect for a shady patio, don’t you think? If you’ve used something unexpected as a planter, send me a pic!

    The details are wonderful, make sure you enlarge this.

    That has got to be the tiniest hosta I've ever come across!

    That is enchanting...my imagination wants to tuck in an imaginary elf.

    As meander1 writes, enchanting is the word. I'd love to know the details of the plant species.

    Darcy has quite an eye for detail. I imagine her yard must be filled with fun little details just waiting to be discovered.

    Foeniculum vulgare, commonly known as fennel, is a flavorful culinary herb and medicinal plant. I am making a paper about it with the help of https://www.toptenwritingservices.com/time4writing-com-review/ website so I am searching information about it.
