gardens

i do lots of dreaming about the plants i would put in my ideal garden. i'm going to start collecting and naming them here:

Black peonie
Paeonia delavayi
Dan Pearson mentions it in an article about moving house, i've searched for pictures. maybe it looks like this:

Canarina eminii flower

change of tack...

Well, I've decided I'm never going to be disciplined enough to hold this as a resource of specific spaces or places or artists or whatever, so it's going to be my resource of interesting things - found images mainly - and i will return to it for inspiration. if it inspires you too, i'm pleased :)
