I'd like to plant one or two but I'm too old to see them come to their full glory. Therefore I'll have to rely on viewing gorgeous gardens like yours!<br />BiruteHepzibahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11364624086853898842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141972872292928899.post-26737093386226232652010-02-08T07:28:03.895+11:002010-02-08T07:28:03.895+11:00Honestly Jane, your yard looks gorgeous.

Your grass trees are so beautiful, & unlike anything I've seen here in the states. I think you are so wise to stop fighting nature & adapt your landscaping. I have never been a fan of azaleas, so I agree, no loss there. Reminds me of my ex's mother..hee..he. I have two large mirrors in our backyard. Not that I like looking at myself (heck no!) but I think too that the reflection is so gorgeous. I have one that reflects the blue of the swimming pool. <br />Hope your weekend was good Jane & sending you well wishes for a great new week xoxo debDumbwit Tellherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18148671166061931241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141972872292928899.post-30205153243702719932010-02-06T15:23:09.226+11:002010-02-06T15:23:09.226+11:00Those grass trees are fantastic.

Incredibly important (as a native of drough ridden CA) I think. I love the idea of the mirrors, I've never seen them outside I don't think!

And the low stone wall is great. It all brings to mind peace and reading and groups lounging around in happy chitchat.Misehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01784548726623938608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141972872292928899.post-13750425328176793382010-02-04T18:14:28.379+11:002010-02-04T18:14:28.379+11:00...."The azaleas had to go.

Very wise idea to work work with it, instead of fighting nature and your environment.<br /><br />Will you share with us your austere space? The Before and After pictures ;-)<br />And those mirrors are a great idea.
