growing space

There is a lovely little patch of landscaping chaos along our little city driveway against the house. It really is chaos. At least five different plants of all types, sizes and colors is growing in this one mass unit. I love it. Its a very beautiful chaos. Red azaleas, along side white azaleas. A baby oak tree with a total of three leaves of variegated green and red colors towering above it all, some beautiful little pink flowers (I have yet to learn the name of) which hang high above the foliage displayed against the blue sky as dainty pink bells which swing low during the rain. A layer of thick airplane plants covers the ground beneath this array. Can you see it?
This is what gardening is for me. A beautiful array of colors, textures, types and heights. A painting. Painted through the growth and bloom of plants doing exactly what they were created to be and do. I'm apprehensive to post a picture of this scene because I believe my written illustration would create a perfect illusion that would over-do a picture of the actual thing in someone else's eyes. But in my eyes, the written perfect illusion is exactly what is real and what it there.
Simple pleasures.
Maybe I will post a picture someday.
