I was just in Charleston South Carolina for a conference. I have been there a couple times before and each time, I am amazed at how different the plants are there. Coming from the Sacramento Valley, lush ferns are just not seen unless there is an unending devotion to keeping them alive.
We were walking around the old part of town, down by the Battery, and this is just one of many window planter boxes that were brimming with very happy ferns, elephant ears and other moisture and shade loving plants. It was just gorgeous - and you could tell, there wasn't a lot of maintenance going on. Just the right plants in the right place. Sometime people are just so good at this!
