Dan, absolutely superb !

Dan, your unbelievably talented.

Everything is as it should be. Color, flow and placement.

For you species guys there is a thing or two be said here. No denying that. No boredom of looking at miles and miles of the same green.

A lot of color going on even with no blossoms! Who ever said conifers were boring? Dan's garden shows how much fun they can be. Japanese Maples compliment the conifers very well.
Nice job Dan.

Botann, back from vacation.

I love the AS aureum sitting in there like a beacon.

Whats the prostrate yellow- Juniper Horizonitalis?

Its nice o see the fruits of many years work..when you start with one gallons you need these pictures and others for some inspiration to keep planting, watering moving rocks..etc...and writing checks:)

Absolutely absorbing. The waterfall is nice too. Could sit there and stare for hours. Thanks for posting pics, everybody who does!

Dan,
Absolutely breath taking. How old is this garden? kt

Dan, Dave & Ken,
I always enjoy looking at all your photos, even if I don't always say so, and I think it would be great if more people on this forum posted photos of their plants and gardens/yards, it's always nice to see other people ideas in useing conifers in their own landscape no matter how elaborate or bacic those plantings may be.

Too new to the conifers to do anything but lurk, but your photos are great. So I thank you.

Those of you who do post photos may not realize they spark some of us into doing research and taking the leap to introduce new things to our spaces too.

Wow, thanks for all of the nice comments. I was excited about how the photos turned out and it's really nice hearing from people who like them too. Dave, Ken and Bluespruce, it's always fun, after a long day of work, checking the forum to see if you guys posted any conifer pics. I appreciate all your efforts. Rc, I've really enjoyed your recent posts as well. I second Bluespruce's sentiments that we'd all love to see more conifer garden photos. Kt, this area of the garden is about five years old. A couple of the maples were planted prior to that. I started collecting and adding conifers in Spring of '04. Botann, welcome back, let's see some photos of that gorgeous garden. Garp1, the junipers in photos #1 and #4 are both J.h. 'Mother Lode'

Thanks again! Dan

Ahem.....clears throat......Well, I know I'd be considered one of the "species guys" here, and that I am. But........dansgrdn's garden IS a delight to behold! I have no negative issues regarding this branch ;^) of ornamental horticulture. In fact, if municipal budgets were in better shape these days, I would love to get to work on just such a project. Dan, your garden is a marvelous example of living art.

Thanks +oM! I appreciate the comments.

I should clarify my 5 yr. comment by saying that I've been working on this area for five years. A lot of changes were made as recent as last year.

Thanks, Dan

Just awesome, Dan! I could sit in your yard all day!!!!!
