Returning to a Sculptor’s Garden

Today we ’re taking a trip back to the Philadelphia garden of statue maker Syd Carpenter . If you lack our last sojourn to her garden , contain it outhere .

Ariseamaringens(cobra lily , Zones 6–9 ) . This plant get its common name from its unusual prime , but here the tremendous , glossy green leaves are the star of the show .

White caladium ( Caladiumbicolor , Zones 10–11 or as an yearly ) always make a superb statement in the garden , but geminate it with non-white foliage and heyday is just magical .

flower annuals catch the sunshine .

Fall colouration on a genus Funka , combined with a turquoise pot that Syd made herself .

Syd is a great lover of beautiful garden pots , some of which she has made herself , and others , like this one , that she has collect over the years . I jazz the idea of using pots as sculptures rather than always needing to put something growing in them .

The garden along the pavement . How lucky Syd ’s neighbor are to get to take the air past this every twenty-four hour period !

A unadulterated manipulation of different foliation combine together , with the yellow ‘ Sun King ’ Aralia ( Aralia cordata‘Sun King ’ , Zones 4–8 ) , a begonia , and the foliage of the hardy impatiens ( Impatiensomeiana , Zones 7–9 ) , which has the beautiful morose green leave with a brilliant white streak down the center .

A wide view of this wonderful garden show the coloring material get along principally from foliation plants .

Another one of Syd ’s beautiful pots , this time with a plant in it , grab a ray of cheer .

‘ Sun King ’ aralia in the back anchorman this planting , and in the front leave , dough leaf poppy ( Papaversomniferum , yearly ) have mostly finished flowering , but their gray leafage and seed heads still contribute a plenty to this planting .
