I especially love the photos taken at The Harrison Sister's garden in Hamilton, ON. I love gray foliage, so many plants are enhanced when planted next to gray.

But you are so right--looking at your photos, I am reminded of how effective a silvery/gray plant is as an accent or contrast. I love the photo of the silver conifer in the Harrison sisters' garden. Lamb's ears and Brunnera are two of my favorite gray plants, too. And although I like color in a garden, I love the aged patina of gray art pieces and walkways--they look so classical and classy.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-27506692284360399122012-11-03T16:32:51.684-07:002012-11-03T16:32:51.684-07:00Love all the ideas of how to combine grey into the...Love all the ideas of how to combine grey into the garden.
