Van Nuys Japanese Garden 2008-08-14 14:49:00 DSC_0227.JPG, originally uploaded by tranism.
If I’ve got it right this is a picture from “The JapaneseGarden

Flowers are nice but but I really love it when gardeners get creative with foliage. This foliage combination of creeping Jenny
with Persian
shield uses sharply contrasting colour and shape to really pop out and make a statement. Read more:Combination
