I also like the addition of the flat marbles. i think they add a 'professional' touch.<br /><br />On another note, I appreciate your comment on my 'Cheating the Deep Shadows' post. I actually have a couple of pulmonarias. I wasn't sure how they would do in our heat and humidity, but they are thriving! Their silvery leaves do light up the shadows. After I had published my post I found a recent photo and wondered why I had not thought to include them.debsgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656883577922890561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289863235108169853.post-32663057234850885482012-05-08T20:43:09.814-04:002012-05-08T20:43:09.814-04:00Love it!
