One good reason to attend shows like this is to look for inspiration, and this pretty little garden by PeacescapeS is full of neat ideas.

I was hunting ideas for my latest project. Imagine that broken-down futon frame is a lovely five feet square table centered under a 12 feet square pergola, and the sticks are corner posts supporting a tall structure covered with the native, flowering vine Lonicera sempervirens ‘Major Wheeler’.

4My original idea was to use a fairly traditional pergola like these from the show. But I really like the rustic look of this next one from Just Plane Wood. I poked around on his website, and he also does fancy pergolas that look like pieces of art.

5We had a lot of fun at the show, but we have a lot of fun anywhere we go.

6Whatever pergola I use will need to be extra strong because the eight people sitting around the table are going to be swingin’ from the rafters. ln fact, I may have just named the area. I was going to call it the swing bar. – So many important decisions to make.

In addition to coming home with new ideas, I came home with some pretty new plants. That Boston fern is called ‘Rita’s Gold’, and its chartreuse color matches the edge on that ivy. I can’t wait to see them brightening my front porch this summer.

The friendly lady with the hosta society recommended two new varieties with stems that bleed red all the way onto the leaf vein. It was a fundraiser, so I did not attempt to use my plant ho abilities. Instead I paid full price for ‘Mango Salsa’ and ‘Stained Glass’.

One of the names is 'Center of Attention', but that was too long to fit on the tag, so I used a synonym.

I also bought some hostas from this nice guy. As we talked, and I picked out my five favorites, he began to realize I was a plant ho. The first bags contained exactly what I paid for, but later bags had a couple extra, and when he threw in a free Crinum, he assured their place in the coveted ‘Plant Ho’ category  Maybe I’ll visit their 100 acre nursery during June’s peak bloom.
