Day 41 - Retro Thursday Brings You Chicago's Navy Pier in August

The funny thing about this retro Thursday - looking at containers from last season - is that this day in August in Chicago was about the same temperature as today was in middle Tennessee. We saw temps today in the upper 70s!
Three highlights to notice in these containers:
Pennisetum Princess
Gomphrena Fireworks
Coleus Redhead

"Gardening is not some sort of game by which one proves his superiority over others, nor is it a marketplace for the display of elegant things that others cannot afford. It is, on the contrary, a growing work of creation, endless in its changing elements. It is not a monument or an achievement, but a sort of traveling, a kind of pilgrimage you might say, often a bit grubby and sweaty though true pilgrims do not mind that. A garden is not a picture, but a language, which is of course the major art of life." Henry Mitchell "The Essential Earthman" I work as the Floriculture Director for Landscape Services, Inc. My job includes designing and planting semi-annually hundreds of annual beds containers and garden beds for commercial development, neighborhoods, and residents requesting our horticulture services. I love my job and the opportunity to bring beauty to our local communities. Most of all, I love introducing new plant material to the average gardener, and to helping them find success in their own gardens.
