    Oh-oh-oh. I can't find words. The beauty of it is undescribable. I wonder how many hours per day he spends watering his floral display. And that backyard is a fairytale world. I want to hire him! :D

    Wow! So colorful...I wonder why he uses so many pots instead of just planting things?

    It looks like that area between the front sidewalk and the curb has been covered with concrete except for a couple of beds he created and instead of leaving the bare concrete he covered it up with pots of plants.

    i think they'd also be easier to move around for color or if one died or needed to be pruned, etc... that was the first thing i noticed, all the pots!

    Wow! That is an eyeful of color!!!
    It must take a lot of time and work to keep it all watered, hopefully it rains frequently...
    It sure is well manicured, obviously he puts a lot of care and love into it.

    Hi, Yes potting does seem to take away some of the beauty, but by potting he has more control such as placing his plants in different locations that will optimize sunlight for example. He's also able to bring one in to his home for personal enjoyment.
    Awesome.

    :stew1: So much hard work and dedication! I loved the Shrine, the flowers look like water pools floating colors down.
