Do you know what the silver-leaved plants are? Lavender? I don't see that actually surviving in the ground with that much moss, but it makes such a wonderful contrast. Now I'm wracking my brain to think what silver-leaved plant would work with moss, because I like the look. Phooey, maybe I could just do it in a container.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-85128267568975380992018-04-24T09:22:54.752-07:002018-04-24T09:22:54.752-07:00I think clothed and naked is pretty common in comm...I think clothed and naked is pretty common in commemorative sculpture since it is all about myth and valor etc. Check out the famous painting of Liberty at the barricade by Delacroix.
