I love that idea, it's as if the barrel is oozing liquid out of it.

They're violas Bobg - mainly purple and white - a spill of violas.

You're so right Motinot - it's a great effect that could be done in any garden. Of course at the Parklands they change the plants each season and there's hundreds of them spilling down that little hill.

Motinot I would have to use a very small barrel to do this in my pocket handkerchief garden ..... but it is do'able.

That's what I think I used but on a very very small scale in comparison with this!
