Question
 There is already lilly's, nandinas with other small items in the area. I want to add to the area straw and more plants. I am looking for a lot of names and pitcures. It will be around a house, some being next to  the yard & home/ and the other being looked at from the back poarch. Nothing is there now. [poarch]
