              @Verdun,
              I'd like to ask your opinion besides other members :)...my hubby keeps saying more plants should go in our front garden especially more heathers and I keep saying there's enough...what do you think :what:

              Hi Gail,

              If it was me i'd put a few more rocks in. As for plants possibly some grasses to add some movement and for want of a better word " finesse " , a lot of the plants at the moment look a little solid or chunky .

                @KFF, Thanks for the reply...just told my hubby and he saw your point of view and I do now, if I added more grasses it would be these which I already have in the back garden...regarding rocks we needed a crane to move those :heehee: they was heavy.:)

                The round green ball next to it are purple lavender plants which are cut into balls.

                  Looks like a Festuca and i'd say that was perfect :)

                        Definitely Elijah Blue beautiful colour...I got them for £10 each knocked down from £20 each which isn't bad as I wanted them matching either side of the decking plus never had them before :)

                          @KFF, I brought these nearly 2yrs back and they're larger than the bigger shows and really heavy...how much do you think?

                            They come in the most beautiful shades.... so maybe KFF can give his opinion on them as to their suitability too :smile:

                              Without knowing size etc i'd probably say around £60/£80.
                              I love his face :)
