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!

    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.
