The missus saw a show or something on him when she was in school, and we've seen a show on PBS about his work. Cool stuff

Excuse the size please.

Now my pic is a (semi) random one I ran across while browsing pics of a particular Windmill Palm variety called Trachycarpus fortunia 'Wagnerianus'...aka "Waggies". In looking at this photo I like the palm grouping but I would mass ornamental grasses in the center and surround with color, such as Sunpatiens, Graffiti Pentas, or Cocktail Begonias.

I like the grouping. Is there a smaller palm in the center behind the guy? It almost looks like there is. Or is it just on the far side of the group? The area around the palms is kind of boring.

Hard to say but looks like the far side. Boring yes I agree. Maybe they were trying out some different ground covers in that spot. I've done that before....
