Outdoor bliss

After debating for the past 10 years about the square brown patch of grass in our backyard that is "ripe for a makeover", we're finally going to create a garden that can become an outdoor oasis where we can read and play. We found a great garden designer to work with us who is about to begin drawing up the design. She doesn't use CAD as she likes the creative freedom using pen and paper. Her drawings are incredibled detail and it doesn't require alot of imagination to visualise how our garden will be transformed.
Similarly artist John Pastoriza-Piñol brings that same level of detail to his paintings of rare and unusual plants. Most of us will never see these plants in the wild but he captures their beauty and elegance and brings them magically to life. Watercolour "Arisaema griffithii" http://www.botanique-art.com/index.php
