  4. Wow! Your SIL is a busy lady! Her "yard of flowers" is amazing and very impressive. I can tell she spends many hours in her gardens. She must live in a cooler climate than central TX. I'm envious! The bed of zinnias is stunning. I like the way she mixed the regular large zinnias with the smaller dwarf plants and then use alyssum for the border. Fun to see all the variety and the different whimsical touches she has added to the gardens. Thanks for sharing!
