Lavender edging on borders was much in evidence too - as you can see in the Kings Lynn photo<br /><br />Frances - thanks for having a look through your photos - I'm sure one of the Spring Flingers must have something.<br /><br />Rose - I remember everyone showing Stella d'Oro last year and remarking how they got everywhere. Thanks for helping to pass the message round to everyone<br /><br />Maggi - I hope you manage to get some shots (safely of course) this time round. Hee's a smile from me counteract all those frowns :)VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-77273308724074943982009-06-18T18:54:28.552+01:002009-06-18T18:54:28.552+01:00Hi VP - hope yo had a good break.

I shall have to enlist a driver, preferably one with a left hand drive car. On my recent forays I have a) not had the camera with me and b) been driving on my own. The local populace frown on you stopping in the middle of the road to take photos, they just don't understand the importance of the task. But for you dear VP, I will risk being frowned at!Maggihttp://web.me.com/intrepid_explorernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-12698314127878988772009-06-18T16:45:39.657+01:002009-06-18T16:45:39.657+01:00Sorry, VP, looking through the Chicago images we f...Sorry, VP, looking through the Chicago images we found The Lurie, Chicago Botanical Garden, Rick Bayless' garden, Lincoln Park buttefly house, but no street plantings. Surely someone will have some.<br />FrancesFranceshttp://fairegarden.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-61556626870022116182009-06-18T13:27:32.168+01:002009-06-18T13:27:32.168+01:00VP, I saw your post come up even before I read you...VP, I saw your post come up even before I read your comment on my blog. I think this is a very interesting and worthwhile meme, and I enjoy seeing the different examples of public plantings that you post. Here the most popular plantings seem to be the Stella d'Oro lilies, which I used to love (and do have a lot of in my garden!) but have now become the very definition of ubiquitous:) I will look through my photos from Spring Fling, but I think I was intent on getting to my destination each time that I failed to snap any pictures of the street scenes. But I will mention this on my next post and appeal to other Spring Flingers who no doubt have some good photos. And I've been meaning to take some pictures around our small town--I'll try to do that before the month is up. Thanks for the link love and another idea for a post!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-10127250558450804972009-06-18T11:52:51.549+01:002009-06-18T11:52:51.549+01:00Hi VP, you have given an honest opinion of the pla...Hi VP, you have given an honest opinion of the plantings you saw on your travels. We will look for Chicago street scenes, maybe in the hundreds of photos taken there are some. I will get back to you on that. As for the use of lavender in your shots, applause, applause! :-)<br />FrancesFranceshttp://fairegarden.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-46208687837077415912009-06-18T10:35:20.630+01:002009-06-18T10:35:20.630+01:00I love the single row of lavender - simple but it ...I love the single row of lavender - simple but it looks great and, as you say, echoes the local industry. However, I'm surprised they put french lavender in public plantings as it's so much harder to maintain to perfection than it's English counterpartLittleGreenFingershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16993886086382843621noreply@blogger.com
