Along this side of the pool are several stems of commonmilkweed(Asclepiassyriaca , Zones 3–9 ) so the milkweed butterfly butterflies will have something to lay their eggs on .

Some of Jonathan ’s garden medallion are a small off the beaten way .

A flock of pink flamingo patrols the garden .

marvelous ornamental pasturage ( Miscanthussinensis , Zones 5–9 ) surround the pool .   I depend it is nice to sit in that air bladder and listen to the wind instrument in the grasses .

A wide of the mark view of the poolside plantings gives a sense of how this beautiful space all fits together .
