It was still quite amazing and I am determined to go back in every season. I too am a Piet Oudolf fan-see the Lurie garden in Chicago if you have the chance!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09836701055156595853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-6735589912900561662011-08-13T00:20:56.207-04:002011-08-13T00:20:56.207-04:00No taller than a foot.

I think I have ever one of those plants you listed in my 1500 foot "prairie" and after a windstorm, the tall ones finally started to flop, alas. I love tall plants. I have a 10' joe pye and a 12-14' ironweed.

I've heard snow is a real challenge for the high line because they can't just shovel it over the side - has to be brought down in buckets. I'm interested in your take on it. And one small plant ID note - the possible Helianthus from early in the post might actually be Silphium laciniatum. I'm a huge Silphium fan even though they list a good bit on occasion.Paul Wnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-74514724731138095652011-08-12T09:51:46.813-04:002011-08-12T09:51:46.813-04:00Wow, Marie.

Toe ek en Peter die foto's sien, het ons geweet dis tyd om weer vir New York te begin spaar. Lieflik. En jy skryf so onderhoudend daaroor.

I long to see that NY high line for myself (what a genius city-enhancing decision that was), and your wonderful photos have just made me that more desperate to walk it! Thanks for sharing them and inspiring me this Friday morning. BxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12169459398749257493noreply@blogger.com
