Default Need some help identifying some plants.....


"Easy" wrote in message
...

hello,
I am currently doing a project on identifying some plants, but was
stuck on identifying a number of them! I was wondering if it is
possible for someone here to help me?

The project is all about Planting design, and this too is something I
am struggling with. Im asked to comment on the aesthetic and functional
contribution of each species to the planting scheme now and in the
future, and was wondering how to comment successfully and in a mature
way instead of just saying that 'the plants look pretty'.


Words and phrases like : wafting, contrasting leaf shape, adds height to the
border, colour combination with ..., colour contrast with.... etc spring to
mind :~))


Are there any nuggets of wisdom people here can bestow on me to relate
to planting design?

Sorry for the million questions from a newbie!
I will try and get the plant photos uploaded later on and I will post
the links!
Thank you !


Jenny
