Stunted and beautiful

This weekend I'm visiting the Sonoma wine country.  Here's a bit of inspiration from a parkway/hell bed in Occidental CA. Not bad for a municipal planting, right?  And you know I don't think the weed whacked grasses below take away from the beauty and magic of this old standard wisteria.  But can't you imagine it in your garden?  Dr. Seuss would have featured a planting in his garden for sure.

Enjoy!
