A perfect match

I took today ’s pic while tour some gardens last bounce with Rebecca Sweet in Los Altos Hills , California . Since she ’s worked and designed in this garden , I consider I ’d let her describe this photograph . Rebecca says , “ In Geri Macomber ’s Los Altos Hills garden , she nestle a stately urn in one of her planting beds . The urn ’s dark browned colour with its crackled white glaze help it to blend seamlessly with the neighboring ‘ Iceberg ’ roses . The majestic lupin is a welcome jolt of color in this tranquil setting . ” Thanks , Rebecca ! I definitely want to revisit this garden next time I ’m in California .
