A fabulously large bed of Clitoria ternatea twining through Rubus cockburnianus 'Aurea'. The incredible blue flowers of the butterfly pea shown off perfectly by the golden yellow foliage of the raspberry. Between clumps of these two I would add groupings of Amorphophallus rivieri 'Konjac' with it's palm-like leaves and beautifully variegated stem. Nature in all its glory! Mary - I'm waiting for a couple more people to die before writing the book. You understand I'm sure.

Makes me want to go out and plant something with a nice sounding name... something like Digitaria sanguinalis- that sounds great! Aren't the intarwebs great? Pictures, too!! -s Irvin-
