Unfortunately the program set up for the horticulture/ common names of plants , set up to roll a mouse over does not work on my IPad .
Actually when I took the time to write up a separate list to go with the combo pics no one looks…. But each combo submission is worth 1️⃣ acorn, representing years of work, planning and care thru winter storms, summer heat and everything in between.
My garden is a mature garden. I have planted over 250 trees and shrubs, perennials and more over the years. I have posted over 200 combo pics of just my garden. It changes every year… also all my winter pics are helpful how to use evergreens for winter color as well as autumn pics showing color .
In my experience I have stated if anyone interested in the plants just ask…and no one asks. Everyone has their own style and garden zone. So I just left it where if anyone wants the name of any of the plants in any of my combos all they need to do is ask…
In the case of my garden combos most members by now most know my garden pics and are familiar after 5 years of posting. Very seldom has any enquiries regarding plant ID come up in over 200 combo pics posted.
The best part about posting combos is that I also receive lots of acorns and thumbs of support from many different members in many different garden zones . I sincerely appreciate those who take the time to look and support everyone's combos. Combo pics are exceptional pictures representing many different garden styles from all over the world.
Actually in the past 5 years if my memory serves me right maybe 5 requests asking about the plants in a combo submitted. The most requests are generally in the pics in the bees posts.
Most of my garden combo plants are listed in my data base.
By the way most do know most of the plants they are looking at… except some trees and shrubs or one or two plants. Then just ask .
I always support every one who posts in combo pics, and everyone in single pics…A lot of planing and work goes into the many different plants planted in ground and even pots displayed in combos. Everyone needs to be appreciated for the hard work efforts and sharing. I think combo pics shows how to place plants to show the best combinations throughout 1-4 seasons depending on zones.
