This may look like a display at a flower show, but it's Mary's back deck! (playfully photoshopped)

I swear this table wasn't arranged for this picture; we just dropped by to stick a Brugmansia in (where George Waters had planted one many years ago) and the Paper, the coffee cup, the cut Peonies and the secateurs were right there. Mary did remove one item, a plastic tub, but hey. We all need oases like this! On the DC side of the line, in Takoma Park, this is a special garden. It wasn't on the Garden Tour this year because this tour doesn't repeat houses in consecutive years, but the garden enjoyed or prolonged wet spring and looks better than ever.
