The lines I "drew" didn't translate in the finished design. So get out your imagination, please! We are downright balmy today. We are exactly at the 40 degree mark as I sit here typing! Still February so I'm not going to get too comfortable at the moment. Hope you are warmer. The snow is melting here. It is going to get cold again over the weekend! I really hope we keep some of the snow as a blanket for the plants. They have had a very hard winter! So have we! Well, many topics still to discuss. Talk to you later.

Envious, love the sound of the Quatre Saison's rose, must investigate! May I suggest some irises e.g. Iris florentina? Roots to be used as a fixative for your pot pourri. I'd add myrtle, hyssop, pinks and some thymes as well :)
All good added herbs HS. I do have some pinks (unless they died in the very cold winter) we have been having. I also have some thymes as well. This design and maybe I should mention this is one that I have to juggle what I already have planted with this new list. xo :)
