    Very lovely, what is the white shrub in the background in the pictures. Unusual agave, I have never seen one like it. Has it ever flowered?

    Gorgeous, I really love the combination of colors,
    that scarlet diathus is such a fantastic punch of color with the
    pansies and dusty miller.

    Thanks for sharing your lovely pictures. :-D

    The shrub is an Indian Hawthorne, which is in bloom right now! In front of that is Dusty Miller, then the Pansies and Red Dianthus

    Very beautiful plants. The pansies caught my eye as they are one of my favorites eventhough I don't have the best of luck with them.
