As Simon Cowell might say, "The Garden Pano's are all great, but.....
I find most of them really boring". Nearly all are formal gardens
that can be found in many major cities. I was hoping for more like
Lanidis's and lots of your own gardens (Backyards). With so many folks
on this forum from so many parts of the world I would love to see what
your personal garden looked like, I guess it would give me a insite as
to how you live.
Maybe the next theme might be "My Home"
