Everyone has their favorite this or that. One of mine is our Weeping Cherry (Prunus pendula). It has just finished blooming after giving us a great show for the past 2 weeks. Sometimes the character (form) of the plant is sculptural enough to be placed in the landscape as a feature just like a piece of art. The form of the small tree(up to 30') is appreciated all seasons and the fall color is a beautiful bright yellow. This one does it for me!
I like your comment about how a plant can be placed "as a feature just like a piece of art." I hadn't though of it like that, but it's so true! Beautiful writing!
