About my garden: My garden, Douentza, never stays the same for long. Each year brings new projects and expanding borders to my acre plot. Already in place are tropical areas, a bog garden for my carnivorous plants, two ponds and a large Annuals Border (home to some 555 plants, grown from seed each year).
My passion is exotics, especially orchids.
If you want to see more, here is the link to a 3 minute slideshow, from 2011, of my garden on YouTube ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=aDf45XyoEck
