Mondo Grass

Mondo-GrassI love Mondo Grass. I like the constant green in the garden, and I like how it spreads by continuing to form distinct fountains of grass. This picture also shows the pink Azaleas, pink Cyclamen, and pink Camellia in bloom this winter.

Black-Mondo-GrassI especially like Black Mondo Grass. I’d like to have the Black Mondo Grass planted next to something blue. Although the contrast of the black against the pink Cyclamen is beautiful, it reminds me of all my pink and black outfits in the 80s.

Winter 2010 Courtyard

Winter-2010-CourtyardMy favorite Camellia bush is in bloom! The Azaleas and Cyclamen are also in bloom. This time of year, the courtyard garden is full of pink and purple.

Pink Cyclamen

Pink-CyclamenThe pink Cyclamen is blooming in the courtyard. This Cyclamen is one of the first plants we planted. We got it from a real estate agent welcoming us to the neighborhood, and the plant has been blooming almost non-stop for several years now. It takes a break only during the winter. I love low-maintenance plants that offer something to the garden for multiple seasons!
