I only discovered him this week as I've been looking for ways to build a new garden for my MCM ranch home. My dream would be English cottage garden, but the house really doesn't carry it coherently, so I've been searching for how to design a mid-century yet lush, flowering garden. This post has led to some great plant options and combinations (via bhg.com as I look up each plant), so I think this might be doable after all. I shall be Oudolf in the front, but English in the back where neither I nor the passing public can see the garden and the house at the same time. :)Sweetbriarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08491250958082358988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-42760711958918941462014-11-15T15:39:30.291-08:002014-11-15T15:39:30.291-08:00I have admired Oudolf's work for some time now...I have admired Oudolf's work for some time now.

It is pleasant, but they recently opened an amazing meadow walk. This is a trend I'm happy to see. Your photographs are lovely.

LOL<br />I am always drawn to Oudolf's hand in designing .. especially when I am so like minded with ornamental grasses, Joe Pye, .. sedums of course are all Fall spotlights for me.<br />My garden is a mess though and it needs a strong hand to get some order and readiness for the winter to come ... BIG sigh ! Can you believe this year has flown by so quickly ... I spent 3/4 of my time waiting for the landscaping to be done ... so I truly hope to hit the ground running next Spring with not too much damage hopefully. I rearranged my Joe Pye, some Russian sage and a few other bits and pieces .. fingers crossed I can get the last of the bulbs in SOON !!<br />Good luck with your garden too girl !! <br />Joy : )<br />PS ... you always shoot such beautiful scenarios with the plants !CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-9751117309032143722014-11-02T12:24:56.517-08:002014-11-02T12:24:56.517-08:00What a pretty garden, especially at this time of y...What a pretty garden, especially at this time of year – and I love Russian sage, although I have to just admire it on your photos, it’s not a plant for my garden sadly.

My introduction to Oudolf was visiting the Lurie Gardens in Chicago 5 years ago. I was a garden newbie then, especially when it came to famous gardeners and designers, and I immediately fell in love with this place. By the next year I had added Baptisia, Amsonia, and Salvia to my garden, all inspired by his designs. Like you, Jennifer, I like the natural look of his designs.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-39730502036323227732014-10-30T16:24:20.136-07:002014-10-30T16:24:20.136-07:00I forgot: your photos of the Monarch Butterflies a...I forgot: your photos of the Monarch Butterflies are AWEsome! :))Kiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11327411102238314117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-62617338431992269542014-10-30T16:23:22.449-07:002014-10-30T16:23:22.449-07:00Just spectacular!

I can share the seedlings with friends or just pull them. I've killed liatris lig before, which is embarrassing because it's supposed to be easy to grow. I rescued a huge corm from a spot that was being shaded by huge stands of phlox and moved it a sunnier spot. I hope it finally thrives.Casa Mariposahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647089868277238456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-24424284501858415502014-10-29T13:32:49.224-07:002014-10-29T13:32:49.224-07:00Very nice post with a real Piet Oudolf collection ...Very nice post with a real Piet Oudolf collection of plants, but most beautiful are all the Monarchs on the Meadow Blazing Star, wonderful!Janneke https://www.blogger.com/profile/11056916431881916066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-35902573490447346932014-10-29T11:32:45.870-07:002014-10-29T11:32:45.870-07:00What a beautiful collection of plants!

I agree that the focus of modern gardens too often rely on hardscape, rather than plantings.
