My garden pal, Alison, wasn't able to make it to the plant swap in Portland this year but a couple of people brought plants just for her so I happily brought them back. Since they were already in the car, and my Sunday job is closer to Alison's place than my house, I decided to deliver them. Since I'd not called first, it was best to just hide the plants among some others and not knock. However, a few pictures got taken of Alison's front porch cast of characters. I laughed out loud at the cow figurine in the Agave bovicornuta (Cow Horn Agave.)

They say that gardens reflect the personality of the gardener. Seems about right as Alison is full of fun and loves a good joke!

I love these glasses! Alison found a pair for me a few years back and I think of her whenever I see them in my own plants.

I peeked insider her greenhouse which is nearly empty so there'll be space for most of these this winter.

Best not to think of the autumn migration at the moment and simply enjoy the outdoor fun for as long as we can.

What fun to see this colorful and fun-filled fabulousness!
