Acer Palmatum dissectum. Nandina domestica.Zebra grass.Hebe Margaret.

That looks lovely :)

I second that!

All my favourites! The acer looks nicely sheltered. I understand why the son wants your heron - good taste!

No, no, make him wait :-))

A very lovely collection of plants, Julia. The different colours are striking all together..
The heron does add something to the picture! I’d make him wait too…😊

Yes,a lovely collection Julia,and they all blend in so well together..:o) I have recently had to get rid of one of my Zebra grasses,which was in the largest pot I could have had, as it soon got root bound,so the pot had to be broken up ,(thankfully,only a plastic one) before we could dispose of it,and it didn't ever look as good as the two in my long border.,Sorry,if I'm being negative,but I wouldn't want the same to happen to your lovely pot.. x

Looking really oriental and the Heron really sets the scene.
