This calla finished blooming a couple of weeks ago. Right now there is nothing blooming and yet it still looks good. I know I've said this before, but I can't over emphasize the importance of good foliage plants. This particular combo is one I intend to use over and over. The nearly black foliage of the dahlia and the almost-perfect matching stripe in the canna are pure perfection in my humble opinion (I get all giddy over little successes like this)
Even the stems have interesting speckles.
Let the Basting Begin!

I am using my dining room table to baste this big one -- it's about 105 x
105 inches (king size).
It's been a while since I've finished one this big.

I am in awe of your container planting prowess. Teach me, o master! (All kidding aside, I intend to incorporate some of what I've seen on your blog into my own containers next year.)
