My ideas for Quirky theme gardens

How about a Face theme Garden
using 2 iris', tulips and a Lipstick Plant.


Depending on which gender you choose for your face garden you could use a Mother Fern or Maiden Hair Fern or a Lady Fern. Would you like Hooded Lady's Tresses, a Pony Tail or a China Doll plant. I know as long as there is an Angel Face rose or a Freckle-Face you should be happy. It is hard to choose between blackeye susan or Blue Eye Grass, of course you must have at least 2 iris, tulips and a Lipstick Plant to complete your face themed garden !

Well that brings us to the Mother-In-Law's Tongue, the Fetid Adder's Tongue or the Hound's Tongue. Don't forget the Fork Tooth Ookow, hopefully you have more than 1 or 2 of those -
;)


Ahhh, baby's breath-
should you choose elephant ears or Mule Ears?
A Fiddleneck is a must, especially if you plant a Necklace Vine.

Would you like a Dumb Cane, an Ain't She Sweet rose,
Do you want to plant a Virgin Palm or a Hoary Azalea, Rhododendron canescens ?
;)
-snicker-
you will get that later and just laff-


I am thinking I should plant a Blue Jeans Ceanothus with asters around it.
Right next to it, lets place a flannel bush and some bachelor buttons.
How about adding a little color along the border with ladyslippers.

a Fingernail Plant is a must, unless earlier you chose to go with Dichelostemma capitatum Liliaceae - I'll let you look that one up, or Aaron's beard and a California Manroot, with flat-topped white asters. You could always go with both and make it a couples garden.


Lets see you could start out with Heart Ivy or Sweetheart Ivy...


There is just not enough thyme to play in the dirt
;)
